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.  Set the Auto Purge & Wipe Interval to Between Each Job. (Ink -> Maintenance -> Auto Purge & Wipe Interval)  On flat, well behaved 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 inch (2.2 mm) when done printing on reflective media.  Mask off any areas of the media surface that will not be imaged.  Perform a manual cleaning of the printhead orifice plates at the end of each day that reflective materials are being printed. 10

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.
Set the Auto Purge & Wipe Interval to Between Each Job. (Ink -> Maintenance -> Auto Purge &
Wipe Interval)
On flat, well behaved 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 inch (2.2 mm) when done printing on reflective media.
Mask off any areas of the media surface that will not be imaged.
Perform a manual cleaning of the printhead orifice plates at the end of each day that reflective
materials are being printed.
