Electrostatic Cleaning Devices can be used with a Tack Cloth attached to wipe the surface and will
reduce static charges that attract more dust. The long handle allows access to the media across
the entire printer table. Lint Free Cloths can also be used.
NOTE
Note: we recommend that you fasten the tack cloth to the cleaning wand, as shown above. It is
easier to apply even pressure with this method. When you use the tack cloth by hand it tends to
leave an uneven swath path on the media you are cleaning. Also, it is important to clean the
whole area of the table as the carriage will pass over more of the entire table than the area
where the media is located.

Consider Varnish in the Job Design
Printing varnish creates a high value-added special effect. However, since this is an additional
process after printing image data, it also decreases productivity.
Due to the low productivity of printing large areas of varnish, it is best to concentrate the use of
this feature on spot decoration.
Fortunately, the Arizona printer "blank space" skipping feature skips over areas in the print that do
not contain varnish, and greatly improves the net productivity of spot applications.
Some design tips:
• Avoid large areas of varnish to lessen the chance that dust and debris contamination may be
noticeable;
• Target small elements within the design and use varnish to draw attention specifically to them,
e.g., glossy lips, shining eyes, water droplets, brilliant lights etc.;
• Avoid coating areas where a bright white is required, as the varnish (clear ink) has a slight
yellow tone.
Preparing To Print Varnish
Follow these simple points to produce good results with the Varnish option:
• Clean the surface of the media before each print. If you gloss coat a rough stock it may be
difficult to "fill in the surface" and achieve a smooth high gloss finish.
• Ensure the printer is clean. Frequently clean the underside of the carriage to avoid dust being
deposited on the print.
• Keep the UV Lamp Filters clean.
• Verify the printer will use the Static Suppression Option (if installed) when printing static-
sensitive media.
