The MK-U series has a newly designed tank optimized for pigment inks. The dual circulation system reduces precipitation during operation. Inks which disperse easily, along with the dual circulation system, prevent clogging of the ink path and achieve stable operation.

In addition to the cleaning of the ink paths, the key parts of the head are also subject to high-pressure cleaning. This negates the need for manual cleaning.
