## Facts

- A single-pass / one-pass printer keeps the printhead fixed; media moves under it. Print width is the printhead width.
- This model uses an HP PageWide A3 (300 mm) printhead. Maximum print width is **300 mm**. Speed/resolution cited: **28 m/min** at **600×1200 dpi**.
- **HP-1PASS/A3**: HP PageWide A3 printer unit for single-pass with water-based dye inks (CMYK).
- **F-1PASS/A3**: 300 mm continuous single-pass printer with HP A3 PageWide printhead (no RIP, no conveyor table). Water-based dye CMYK only.
- RIP cited for this setup: **AC-FLEXIPRINT** SAi FlexiPRINT DX 22 AM.CO.ZA Cloud Edition (1+2 printhead, no white); min Win10+, CPU i5+, 16 GB RAM, SSD.
- Dye ink is water-based (low clog risk) and for **paper-based** media (e.g. carton). Inks: **F-AQUA/BLACK**, **F-AQUA/CYAN**, **F-AQUA/MAGENTA**, **F-AQUA/YELLOW** (1 L). Cleaner: **F-AQUA/CLEAN**.
- Conveyor table is separate / custom: width, length, heaviest item weight, and item thickness. Client-built tables: nominate ~28 m/min with variable speed.
- Wider widths (600 mm / 900 mm+) would need multiple printheads; ECO-solvent / UV versions were not yet tested as of this date.
