Print Quality: You want the best possible print quality.
●
Print Speed: You want fast printing.
Test print
Next, the wizard shows you the proposed settings for the rst test print. These settings are generated based
on the information you have already given.
NOTE: If you are an advanced user and the suggested settings do not meet your expectations, you can
select Advanced settings at any time and make manual changes. However, you are recommended to print the
rst test print as an indication of overall performance on your substrate.
NOTE: If you cancel the test print because you are experiencing substrate issues or print-quality issues such
as banding, consider modifying the substrate preset, following the guidelines provided in Troubleshoot
substrate issues on page 294 and Troubleshoot print-quality issues on page 314.
When the test print has been made, the wizard asks you some questions about it.
The print is organized into horizontal bands which are printed at a range of dierent ink densities. There are
two dierent sections. The left part (Section A) is focused on color saturation and curing performance. The
right part (Section B) is focused on the interaction of several ink densities with dierent levels of optimizer.
1. Start with Section A. Check whether any of the bands is completely cured. Use the black 4-color patch
for this purpose. Do a smudge test if possible. Check whether any curing defects are visible. One
possible curing defect appears as a pattern of small round spots on the print, from the perforated plate
through which the curing air passes.
If you have found an ink density that is perfectly cured, choose this or a lower ink density in the Ink
Density drop-down menu. Never select a ink density with curing defects.
