I. Product Description

Models

There are four models in the 5400uv series. Other than the differences noted in the fol-

lowing table, they are identical in all respects. There is no upgrade path from one model 

to another.

Speeds vary based on number of printheads per color.. The 5440 and 5460, with one 

printhead per color, have the same speeds. The 5445 and 5465, with two printheads per 

color, are twice as fast. See the chart in section III for speed detail.

The final apparent output resolution varies based on the presence or absence of the 

light-density inks. The 5460 and 5465, with the CMYKcm color set, have a maximum ap-

parent output resolution of 1800. The 5440 and 5445, with the CMYK-only color set, do 

not benefit from any apparent resolution enhancements.
