Computer and software requirements
The customer’s computer must have compatible RIP software installed to send print jobs to the
Gerber Solara ion. If the computer is not configured properly, if it does not have a network card,
or if the proper data cable is not used, you can run a test print on the Gerber Solara ion but you
cannot send jobs from the computer.
Gerber-authorized RIP software has been approved to work with the Gerber Solara ion and
GerberCAT inks and qualified materials. Following is a list of approved software at the time of
this document’s printing. Consult the GSP web site www.gspinc.com
for an up-to-date listing.
Onyx® ProductionHouse™ Gerber Edition, Onyx® PosterShop™ Gerber Edition,
ImageRIP™ Plus by Onyx, or Gerber Solara ion Onyx Driver (necessary for existing
Onyx RIP owners version 6.5 or higher to ensure compatibility with the printer)
ErgoSoft
SAi Flexi™ or PhotoPrint™
CADlink SignLab™
Wasatch SoftRIP®
UV bulb technology
UV WARNING
Exposure to UV light can be dangerous to eyes and skin and should be avoided.
Never operate the Gerber Solara ion with any of the covers removed.
Never operate the printer with the rubber light shields (flaps) missing or damaged.
Contact Gerber if any of the rubber light shields (flaps) need to be replaced.
The Gerber Solara ion uses Cold Fire Cure UV technology to instantly and safely cure inks
using low energy and low heat. The UV lamps run the full length of the gantry (approximately
65"/165cm) and provide a very specific wavelength of UV light which cures the GerberCAT
inks. The lamps are enclosed to ensure that the user is protected from exposure to UV radiation.
The UV bulbs require a short warm-up cycle before printing if they are not at operating
temperature. When the lamps reach their operating temperature, the cooling fans automatically
turn on to maintain the proper temperature. Gerber Solara ion UV lamps do not require a cool
down cycle before re-striking.
