  • Page 32: Important Points To Check Before Printing

    Important points to check before printing Four important points (measures for ink mist and UV reflected light) On this machine, ink affixed on the surface of the print head might be cured by ink mist (ink splash upon printing) and reflection of the UV lamp light. If ink affixed on the surface of the print head 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 head.
  • Page 33 Important points to check before printing 3. A jig might be required according to the shape of the print object (media). The distance between the print head surface and the print object (media) surface becomes longer upon print according to the shape of the print object (media). If the distance becomes longer, ink mist is likely to occur, and the UV lamp light is also likely to be reflected.
  • Page 34 Important points to check before printing When you make a borderless print on a print object (media) with a 2 mm or more height difference When you make a borderless print on a print object (media) with a 2 mm or more height difference, a jig ac- cording to the print area is required.
  • Page 35 Important points to check before printing 4. Cover the margin areas of the flat table with black sponge when you make a print on a 3D object with a 10 mm or more height. If the distance between the highest position of the print object (media) and the flat table surface is 10 mm or more, the UV lamp light is likely to be reflected.
