Chapter 2 Operation
General Guide for the Preset Temperatures
The optimal temperature settings vary according to the type of media, differences in the print mode, and other factors.
Use the following as a general guide and adjust accordingly.
General Guide for Adjustment
Print heater
You use this mainly to improve ink adhesion and inhibit smudging.
If the ink forms lumps or smudges, raise the temperature. Note, however, that a temperature that is too high may
degrade the media or cause it to wrinkle.
Dryer
When ink drying is poor, raise the temperature. Note, however, that a temperature that is too high may degrade the
media or cause it to wrinkle.
The relationship between the print mode and temperature
If smudging or poor drying occur even after raising the temperature, try using a print mode offering higher quality.
Conversely, when you want to use a faster print mode, raise the temperature.
Amount of ink
When you change the amount of ink using the settings for your software RIP, adjusting this may yield better results. If
problems such as smudging persist even after raising the temperature, try reducing the amount of ink.
➢When suggested settings for temperature, print mode, and other values are given, use the suggested settings.
