Perform Setting To Reduce Stripes Between Passes; What Is The Maps Function - MIMAKI JFX500-2131 Operation Manual

Perform setting to reduce stripes between passes

What is the MAPS Function?

If performing media correction does not resolve feeding stripes, use the MAPS (Mimaki Advanced
PassSystem) function to disperse the pass boundary to make the feeding stripes less visible.
With the JFX500, you can use both the MAPS1 function and the MAPS2 function.
• With MAPS1, the printing speed can be adjusted, but depending on the image to be printed, there
may be color changes. With MAPS2, both feeding stripes and color changes can be reduced, but
speed cannot be adjusted. Choose the function based on the image to be printed.
• MAPS1 effect differs depending on the set value of the printing speed. Use it after checking effect in
advance.
• When you speed up the printing speed, it takes shorter time to print. However, MAPS1 effect
becomes weak.
• When you slow down the printing speed, it takes longer time to print. However, MAPS1 effect
becomes strong and feeding stripes become less visible.
• Enabling the MAPS function, slight color change may be found compared to when the MAPS function
disable. Use it after checking effect in advance.
• MAPS may not be effective depending on image to be printed. Use it after checking effect in advance.
 Conditions for the MAPS1 Function to be Effective
• When printing, if you set the printing speed to 0% and more, MAPS1 becomes invalid. In addition, it prints
at 0% speed. When you use MAPS1, set the printing speed to "minus (-)".
• The MAPS1 function may not be effective depending on the image to be printed.

 Conditions for the MAPS2 Function to be Effective
• The following are the resolutions and pass numbers where MAPS2 is effective.
• Under conditions other than those below, printing is performed in a format equal to MAPS-OFF.
• The MAPS1 function may not be effective depending on the image to be printed.
