Solid inks
Solid inks, sometimes called phase-change inks, are solid at room temperature
and are liquid at the higher temperature used during printing. The inks solidify
almost instantly after being jetted onto the printer’s media. Because Tektronix'
proprietary solid inks bleed much less than ordinary liquid inks, they allow the
printer to print brilliant colors on plain paper.
Note Turning the printer off and allowing it to cool causes it to perform a
printhead cleaning and purge cycle upon power-up. The printer's
purge cycle consumes some ink. During normal use and servicing,
turn the printer off and allow it to cool only when necessary.
Memory considerations
The capabilities of the printer increase with the addition of more RAM.
