Adjusting the UV shields
The GERBER SOLARA UV2 comes with two UV shields that are positioned on either end of the
platen to protect the internal elements of the printer from over exposure to UV light. They also
serve as material hold down devices for vinyl and other non-rigid materials. Proper positioning
of these devices is essential for proper printer performance and to help insure the longevity of
your print heads and UV lamps.
Positioning the UV shield varies depending on what type of material you have loaded.
You can use the following as a quick reference guide but refer to the instructions detailed in
each material loading section for more information.
