Product Highlights

Micro-Quad™ Technology - For true 600 x 600-dpi image resolution. DisplayMaker 72s incorporates 16 Micro-Quad piezo printheads, each jetting a 30-picoliter size drop, to produce high-quality output at true 600 x 600-dpi resolution.

Super-Fast Output Speeds - For the serious printing professional. DisplayMaker 72s is specifically engineered to be a production workhorse. It utilizes 16 piezo-electric printheads, totaling over 1,500 jets, to deliver print speeds of 200 square feet per hour in Production Quality Mode — and twice as fast in Billboard Quality Mode.

Self-Cleaning Printheads - For continuous productivity. Printhead and jet maintenance is easy with an on-board auto self-cleaning system and capping station. The AutoClean service station uses 16 motorized wiper blades and a solvent bath to keep printheads in peak performance.

SolaChrome-HR Inks - For durability and printhead reliability. SolaChrome inks are true solvent-based pigmented inks for direct printing onto inexpensive uncoated media. Specially formulated for Micro-Quad printheads, SolaChrome-HR inks ensure jet reliability, prolong printhead life and guarantee low maintenance. They produce highly durable output for rigorous display applications and offer an outdoor display life of up to 5 years. SolaChrome-HR inks produce vibrant, high-resolution 600-dpi output with just four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black), therefore using significantly less ink than inferior, low-resolution 6-color competitors. Average ink cost is $0.15 per square foot ($1.61 / m2).


SolaChrome-HR ink and solvent cleaning solution is contained within refillable 3.5-liter reservoirs that can be easily filled, even while printing. The ink delivery system of DisplayMaker 72s is another valuable productivity feature for non-stop printing.

Automatic Productivity Features - For quality assurance and ease of operation. DisplayMaker 72s incorporates an Advanced Automation Eye — consisting of a high-resolution image sensor, colormetric photodiode and embedded software, allowing the printer to automate the setup and calibration steps that are critical to achieving and maintaining outstanding print quality:

AutoSet™ Calibration - Analyzes dot placement of printed patterns and automatically sets the bi-directional alignment calibration across variable print speeds and media thicknesses.

AutoJet™ Calibration - Eliminates banding in prints and prolongs the useful life of printheads by mapping out jets that are not up to performance standards and compensating with other jets.

AutoTune™ Scheduler - Schedules the AutoJet Calibration to occur during unattended print runs to ensure maximum print quality and minimize waste or reprinting.

Linearization - Measures color density patches and supplies data to the external RIP’s color management software. The color management system then linearizes the color curves to ensure accurate and consistent color.

Color Profiling - Using a colorimetric photo diode image sensor, DisplayMaker 72s can print and automatically read hundreds of color swatches to allow the RIP and color management software to create ICC and ColorMark® color profiles for custom ink and media combinations.

RIP Compatibility - The DisplayMaker 72s can be driven by a variety of raster image processor (RIP) options: ColorMark Pro print servers, ColorMark Professional Software RIP and 3rd party RIPs from Onyx Graphics and Scanvec/Amiable.

Upgrade Path: Can be upgraded to support flatbed printing directly onto rigid media Colorspan 72SR
