    Overview The 8000+ Range Print Heads The Jet•A•Mark 8000+ range comprises of the MINI, MIDI and MAXI print head types. Each type has different printing characteristics with respect to print resolution (drop size) where MINI print heads are used for high resolution printing and produce, therefore, small drops, MAXI heads print at a low resolution using large drops and MIDI heads have printing characteristics falling in the middle of the two.
