12. Restore the pinch mechanism by moving the black knob back into place. If you feel resistance because the cleaning roll is too tight, turn the roll slightly counter-clockwise, to leave the cleaning roll loose, not tight. 13. Close and lock the door. 14. Tap Finish. The cleaning-roll length tracking is now reset to 100%. NOTE: If you tamper with half-used rolls, the usage shown in the Internal Print Server will not be accurate, and control of the roll may be impaired. Printing with white ink (2700W only) Printing with white ink is useful mainly when printing on non-white substrates, such as dark, colored, metallic, or transparent substrates. The following basic design techniques may be used: ● Underflood: A solid rectangle (or irregular shape) of white ink is printed as the first layer, then a colored image is printed as the second layer, on top of it. When used on a non-white or reflective surface, this can provide better color saturation or allow colors that are similar to the substrate color to be visible. ● Overflood: A colored image is printed as the first layer, then a solid rectangle (or irregular shape) of white ink is printed as the second layer, on top of it. This is most often done with transparent substrates to create a sign that is viewed on a light box (for example, a shopping mall map, airport advertisement, or bus stop signage). When viewed from the opposite side of the substrate on which it was printed, the image must be reversed (mirrored) in the RIP or application software before printing. ● Spot color: Any white shape (including text) that is cured with and in the same plane as the rest of the artwork, rather than in a separate plane or layer. In conventional (analog) offset or screen printing, this might be called a knockout, because none of the colors are overprinted. ● Sandwich mode: A white layer is embedded between two different images, allowing each image to be seen from one side of the substrate.
