● Rigid cut-sheet media - Use only flat, unwarped, undamaged sheets, with parallel opposite edges and 90° corners. For optimal image quality, use smooth-surfaced media. Images printed on porous media will lack fine detail. ● Curing continues for 24-48 hours - The UV ink will continue to cure for a day or two after printing. Maximum durability and adhesion is achieved when the ink is fully cured. ● If you print on the media drive belt, clean the ink off the belt as soon as possible. The longer that ink remains on the belt, the more difficult it is to remove. To remove ink from the belt, moisten the ink with isopropyl alcohol, let stand for a few minutes, and wipe with a paper towel. Carefully remove any flaked ink from the area. ● To avoid printing on the media drive belt when printing edge-to-edge (0 margin) jobs, you can affix dark-colored masking tape on the belt where the sides of the media will be. Remove or replace the tape periodically as ink accumulates on the tape. ● Do not attempt to adjust the vacuum level for the printheads. It has been factory adjusted for best performance. ● Printing on reflective media will reflect UV light onto the printheads, which will cure the ink over time and clog the ink jets. To minimize this: ◦ Do not keep reflective media loaded on the printer when not in use. ◦ Perform a manual purge after printing on reflective media. ◦ Visually inspect the printheads via the service door for ink buildup or ink curing, If observed, clean the printheads (see Clean the printheads on page 79). ● To load reflective media, the General Media Setting Visible to Printer should be set to Visible. ● To reduce printing artifacts when printing on Corrugated Plastic (Coroplast) or Polystyrene (Sintra) sheets, try creating a custom media type with the lamps set to Low, Low. Note that this setting could reduce the gloss of the print. ENWW Printing tips 31
