9. Precautions when using Type G2 White Ink
1. When printing a solid white area at the white print mode 600x1200dpi setting when replacing
Type G1 White Ink with Type G2 White Ink, “white banding” may occur in the direction
orthogonal to the platen transport direction (see figure below).
If this "white banding" occurs, it will resolve after about 5 days after replacing with Type G2
White Ink. It is also resolved by repeating "strong" head cleaning 3 to 4 times consecutively.
Alternatively, this “white banding” is resolved by changing the white print mode to
1200x1200dpi 8Pass in the advanced settings. However, printing time will be slightly longer
due to the increased number of Pass. Please check pages 74-75 of the user manual (version
1.50) for information on how to change the white print mode in the [settings] under
“Advanced” in [Color] tab.
2. When using Type G2 White Ink, the white density may become Lower at the following times.
・When opening and using a new cartridge.
・When using cartridges that have been stored for a long time.
・When replacing cleaning solution with white ink.
・When the cartridge agitation interval exceeds 2 days (48 hours).
If the white density becomes lower at any of these times, agitate the cartridge at least 200
times.
If the white density remains lower even after the additional agitation described above, agitate
the cartridge again and repeat "strong" head cleaning 3 to 4 times consecutively.
Alternatively, this decrease in white density is resolved by changing the white print mode to
1200x1200dpi 8Pass and Limit to 50 in the [settings] under “Advanced” in [Color] tab .
However, printing time will be slightly longer due to the increased number of Pass.
3. If white ink stains on the platen are noticeable after printing is completed, please clean the
platen.
