9.9 Cycle Optimisation

Taktzahl = abgeschlossener Druckzyklus pro Zeiteinheit.

Figure 26

In case of 'time critical' applications you have the possibility with a
good selection of different device parameters to increase the effective
print speed and it this way the clock cycle.



Generally increase the print speed.



Generally increase the back speed.



Increase acceleration and brake ramp.



Change zero point of machine.



Avoid vertical installation position of print mechanics. Install the
machine in horizontal position.



Control the short distance between printhead and print surface.



Optimise the layout to a short print way, i.e. less blanks, no
borders at the top res. bottom, rotate the layout.
