Additionally, the driver sets the ESAT rate, with the Black document at 15 images per minute (ipm) and color at 10 ipm. This device boasts up to 4,096 nozzles, with 3,072 dedicated to color and 1,024 for pigment black. Moreover, it supports a print resolution of up to 4800×1200 dots per image (dpi), providing crisp and clear prints every time.
