The SJ-1045 precisely controls droplet placement in both the print head travel and paper feed directions to provide true 1440 x 1440 dpi resolution in Artistic Mode. It uses a digital servomotor to control the media and features Piezo print heads.

Variable droplet technology uses micro-precise ink droplets of three different sizes depending on the type of output. This state-of-the-art technology delivers truly breathtaking output with virtually smooth, dot-free tones even at high speed.

The SJ-1045 features the option to run in two different ink configurations: four-color CCMMYK or six-color CMYKLcLm. The CCMMYK configuration was designed to achieve the highest print speeds possible while maintaining vibrant colors in a wide gamut. The six-color CMYKLcLm configuration ensures optimum photorealistic quality and color gamut - even when viewing graphics from a short distance.

In addition, VersaWorks™ supports industry standard ICC profiles, comes with several Roland media profiles, and is compatible with profiles created through standard profiling packages. An updated list of profiles can also be accessed through the Roland@NET service.
