The corona treatment can usually be omitted if open-pored paper or syn-
thetic fabric is being printed, since in such cases the capillary effect of the
fibers allows the applied ink to spread and coalesce better on the substrate.
The corona treatment affects only the surface facing the bar electrode and
not the opposite side or the interior of the substrate, so that mechanical
properties, such as tensile strength, remain unchanged.
The corona treatment can be switched on and off as needed using the tab
Job / Job settings
on the touchscreen. Likewise, the setpoint for power
can be entered here. These settings are stored in the associated format
file.
Caution
The corona treatment produces ozone which can harm the respiratory
tract and the components of the printer. The ozone that is released is
usually neutralized and rendered harmless in the activated charcoal
filter of the ventilation system.
Replace the activated charcoal filter of the ventilation system at
regular intervals.
Information
If a penetrating ozone odor is noticed in the area of the printer, please
proceed as follows:
Have the ventilation system checked and replace the activated
charcoal filter.
Deactivate the corona treatment and print only materials that don’t
require a surface treatment until the ventilation system is repaired.
