Reflective media
When printing on reflective media, such as polished metal or mirror, additional preparation
and maintenance procedures are necessary to minimize UV light being reflected back to
the printhead
nozzles where it could cure ink, plugging the nozzles.
p.
Select, from the control panel, Ink > Maintenance > Set Auto Purge & Wipe Interval > Auto
Purge & Wipe Interval > Between Each Job.
q.
On flat, stable materials such as glass mirror, lower the printhead height to its minimum
0.065 inch (1.6 mm) value (Printing > Options > Head Height off Media). Remember to
change this back to the nominal value of 0.085 inches (2.2 mm) when done printing on
reflective media.
r.
Mask off any areas of the media surface that will not be imaged.
•
Perform a manual cleaning of the printheads at the end of each day when reflective
materials have been used.
