Three Important Points (Measures for UV Reflected Light and Ink Mist)
On this machine, ink affixed on the surface of the print heads might be cured by reflection of the UV lamp
light and ink mist (ink splash upon printing). If ink affixed on the surface of the print heads is cured, it might
cause dot drop-outs, and if you use the product without taking any measures, it might cause a failure which
requires replacement of the print heads.
While daily cleaning is important to prevent dot drop-outs, there are also three important points to check
before printing. Be sure to check the three points given below. Be sure to check the three points given below:
1. You cannot use a object which reflects light as a print object (media).
Mirrors and stainless materials, etc. which are likely to reflect the UV lamp light promote curing of the surface
of the print heads, and therefore they cannot be used as a print object (media).
2. Make the distance between the surface of the print object (media) and the print heads
as short as possible.
As the distance between the surface of the object to be printed on (the media) and the print heads increases,
the likelihood of ink mist increases. When setting the height of media manually, make the distance as short
as possible. When the height is automatically set, the distance is about 1 mm (39.4 mil).
