Printing onto thin or low melt-point plastics (e.g. PVC)
If you are using a thin material, the UV Lamp intensity may need
to be adjusted so that the material does not warp and scrape
against the print head.
There is a dial which can be used to adjust the intensity of the
lamp to accommodate varying substrates. This dial can be found
by opening the front cover of the printer. The dial is labeled – UV
LED INTENSITY.
Turn the dial counter-clockwise to lower the intensity. The knob
has 10 detents/clicks for easier adjusting. DCS suggests a level of between 6 and 8 when
printing to thin plastics or low-melt plastics (such as PVC).
Some testing may be necessary to determine the correct combination of resolution/print mode
and UV lamp intensity. All substrates should be tested and confirmed by end users as suitable
with regard to print quality and adhesion of the inks to the substrates.
