Minimum and Maximum Print Speeds
There is a minimum and maximum print speed at which a particular ribbon saving
will occur. For SmartDate X60 the minimum and maximum speeds are calculated
as follows:
Minimum speed for selected ribbon save (mm/s) = 120 * substrate speed multiplier.
Maximum speed for selected ribbon save (mm/s) = 800 * substrate speed multiplier.
where:
substrate speed multiplier = 1 / (1 - (ribbon save percentage / 100)
For example:
If the Digital Ribbon Save Mode setting is “Medium” the substrate runs at approximately
1.5 times the ribbon speed. The substrate speed multiplier is 1.5 resulting in a Minimum
speed of 180 mm/s (120 * 1.5) and a Maximum speed of 1200 mm/s (800 * 1.5)
Above the maximum ribbon save speed, SmartDate X60 automatically increases
the substrate speed multiplier to achieve the closest possible ribbon saving to the
initial value. This occurs until a speed of 1800 mm/s is reached - this is the
absolute maximum print speed.
Below the minimum ribbon save speed, the SmartDate X60 automatically reduces
the substrate speed multiplier to achieve the closest possible ribbon saving to the
initial value. This occurs until a speed of 120 mm/s is reached at which point the
substrate speed multiplier will remain at 1 (i.e. a ribbon saving of 0) down to 70
mm/s.
