2.6 Setting the Heater Temperature
Set the heater temperature to suit the type of media used. The temperature can be altered while printing is in
progress, but this may cause color variations to occur.
• Adjust the heater temperature to suit the media type and characteristics. Depending on the type,
the media may expand or shrink or become rippled.
• The temperature setting in the RIP software takes precedence. If you are using the Mimaki RIP
software (RasterLink), the recommended values are stored in the color profile.
