The Iris prints images by spraying one million droplets of ink (pigment) per second through each nozzle. There are 9-12 nozzles of different colors. The drum spins at 100-150 inches per second and could take up to 60 minutes to print one 30″x20″ image. The ink droplets measure 15 microns in diameter (the size of a red blood cell). The studios I employ (Orion of Santa Fe, and 10,000 Cranes of Albuquerque) guarantee that the prints have the highest resolution, greatest color gamut, and longest life. This is extremely high quality Fine Art reproduction.
