Setting up Interlace Mode
Once interlace mode is turned ON, settings such as background energy levels are
automatically adjusted to optimise operation in interlace mode.
The settings should be optimised for a wide range of materials however a reality of
interlace mode is that the first and second prints will differ slightly in contrast. Once the
speed is set for the application, adjustment of the Print Darkness can be used to make
these prints as equal as possible (balance the prints).
Typically, best results have been achieved with the printer set in the speed range of
150 mm/sec to 250 mm/sec (approx. 6”/sec to 10 ”/sec). The maximum print speed is
recommended as no more than 400 mm/sec (15.7”/sec). If the first print is much darker
than the second, reduce the Print Darkness. If the first print is much lighter than the
second, increase the Print Darkness.
Only the Print Darkness parameter should be used to balance the prints. No other
settings should be changed to balance the prints.
