Uniform Print Gap & Elimination of Gap Between Prints
CAUTION: Incorrect arrangement of boards on the table, or setting the print gap to
be greater than 0.110” can result in UV light being reflected into the print heads
causing nozzle blockages. These failures are not
covered under warranty. In order to
ensure print and printer-favorable conditions are met for each print, adhere to the
guidelines outlined in this section.
If the material is thicker than 0.035" (0.9mm) it will ask the user to position the sliding UV shield
adjacent to the right hand side of the board to prevent UV light reflecting off the table back into
the heads. The diagram below shows both the correct and the incorrect use of the shield.
