Heating system
The type of ink used in this printer (latex) requires heating for the ink to be cured. The heating system applies
heat through the Curing Assembly. The full SKU has additional heaters in the print zone and outlet.
Temperatures are kept at a target level depending on the type of substrate and amount of ink fired via
temperature sensors, which feed back information to the Heater Control assembly located at the rear of the
printer, and to the left of Curing Assembly.

The following cross section shows the heating subsystems:
Print Zone heating
The Print Zone heaters are installed in the scan beam in the full SKU only. They heat up the print zone to
25-35°C while printing. The main objective is to evaporate some of the ink, and raise the temperature for
satisfactory print quality.
The three resistors in the scan beam provide up to 1050W during warm-up.
Print Zone Fans
The Print Zone fans provide an airflow parallel to the substrate to reach a higher evaporation rate and push
the vapor out under the Curing Module to prevent condensation forming inside the printer.
