TJ8300 / TJ8500TJ8300 Overview
The TJ8300 is a wide format digital printing device.
The TJ8300 works with inkjet technology.
The concept of the machine is based on using RIP files and printing them with various pre-print options.
The machine can be operated by a single person.
The machine is designed to work in a queue mode with different jobs. It can run one job after another automatically, even though the parameters are different for each job.
The machine is designed to work with a variety of substrates.
The machine works with roll-to-sheet.
