There are 4 basic categories of ink. ACCUFAST uses print applications
as a guide, assuming that for specialty printing, specialty inks have been
purchased. For plain paper printing, use the Versatile or Overcoat set-
tings. (Overcoat is the factory default.) For IR drying, use General. For
UV Cure applications, select UV Ink. Each or these inks require slightly
different electronic settings to get the best from the system. By selection
an ink to match the application, you modify these settings.
If all of the ink in the pens is identical, check the box and make the ink
selection once. If not, make sure that the ink is matched to the pen as
pens are controlled individually.
The next box to the right is Pen Overlap. Pen position may vary a bit
through manufacturing and assembly tolerance. The number in the over-
lap boxes may be increased. When that happens ink jets at the bounda-
ries between the pens are turned off. If enough jets are turned off, a per-
manent white line will exist at the pen boundary. If no jets are turned off,
there is a 4 pixel overlap built in between the pens, generating a double
printed black line at the pen boundary. If you are carefully stitching a half
tone graphic, this control becomes useful. It is not typically used in text
printing as the lines of text are set to avoid pen boundaries.
Note
Always use new or fully operational pens for stitching and
overlap adjustments.
The next box to the right is the Printing Setup Box. The two items of in-
terest to fixed small package printers are the resolution boxes at the top
of the list. All of the other boxes are used for advanced stream sorting
routines.
Vertical Resolution is set at either 300 or 600 dpi depending on the
amount f ink being used. Typically, this setting is left at the pen’s native
600 dpi resolution.
Horizontal Resolution can be set at a number of different amounts. Typi-
cally, text printing on a porous, plain paper material is 300 H x 600V. If
the print to too light at that level, increase the horizontal to 600. If the
print at 300 is too dark, reduce the settings to 300 x 300 or 200 x 600.
This is a trial and error situation.
The other buttons are self explanatory. The unavailable buttons apply to
different printers.
