Print Modes Explained
•
High Key
mode is the fastest available print mode in the Arizona 1300-Series. It is best suited
for the production of images characterized by lower density and limited contrast.
•
Express
mode provides fast printing but image quality depends on all nozzles jetting ink. It is
best with images that do not have large areas of solid colour or high saturation.
• Production mode allows a wide variety of printing output. As with high-speed modes on any
inkjet printer, there is insufficient nozzle redundancy to produce flawless images all the time on
all media. As a result, it may be necessary to print some output in Quality Mode.
• Production Fast mode is a more compactly printed variant of Production mode. It reduces the
printing time by approximately 25% but depends on the presence of Light Cyan and Light
Magenta inks in pallet to work. As a result, this mode is only available when using the optional
eight colour ink configuration (CMYKcmWW/WV) Available with the Arizona 1380 model only..
• Quality provides excellent image quality and is suitable for a wide range of image types and
looks good with most media.
• Quality-Density doubles the density for backlit media. For flatbed media that may warp or
move slightly from the heat of the lamps, this mode provides better image registration than
doing an Overprint because it is done in one gantry pass.
• Quality-Layered allows you to place multiple layers in one print job. It is most useful when
printing with White Ink (see Chapter 9 How to Work with White Ink and Varnish). You must
configure any extra layers in the ONYX software. Not available with the Arizona 1340 model.
Note
: When Quality Density or Layered mode is used, there is a pull-down menu in the Print
Job module that allows you to select either Quality-Layered or Quality-Density (the menu
allows you to change how it was configured in your ONYX software).
• Quality-Matte provides a matte finish to the entire image. This is helpful on some media such
as FomeCore, GatorPlast or Styrene as a glossy image tends to have a matte line at the end of
each swath with these media. Quality-Matte resolves this issue. This mode is only available
when using the optional eight colour ink configuration (CMYKcmWW/WV), which includes
Light Cyan and Light Magenta inks.
NOTE
Some Quality print modes are also interchangeable at the printer UI. For example, if
Quality mode is specified in the submitted job, Quality-Matte or Quality-Density
modes may be selected in the Print Job module of the printer UI. This changes how
the job will print without resubmitting it from the workflow.
