Using the Quality – Color Matching dropdown (continued)

Step Procedure

Control the amount of heat the Printer uses when printing with the resin black
Panel by adjusting the

Resin Heat

slide.

•

Move the slide to the left to cause less heat to be used in the printing

process, causing resin images to be lighter or less saturated.

•

Move the slide to the right to cause more heat to be used, causing resin

images to be darker or more saturated.

(

Note:

This control can be helpful for fine-tuning the sharpness of resin text

and bar codes.)
