Roland SolJet Pro II V SC-545EXW Manual

Be Sure to Read This First

This manual describes important information that you should know before you use
the SC-545EXW (white-ink model).
Features
➢ This machine is a large-format printer capable of printing white
ink in addition to four-color (CMYK) inks. This makes it pos-
sible to achieve unique expressiveness not possible with con-
ventional printers, such as by printing CMYK colors on white.
➢ This machine employs proven ECO-SOL inks.
➢ This machine cannot use light cyan or light magenta inks.

Important: Characteristics of White Ink

The usage and handling of white ink involves some important considerations that do not apply to ink of other colors. Be
sure to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of white ink before you use it.
White ink settles and separates.
➢ If it is allowed to stand, the precipitated material may so-
lidify and cause clogging of the print heads or other mal-
function. Be sure to observe the cautions in this manual.
Periodic maintenance is necessary and must be per-
formed without fail.
➢ We recommend operating the printer at least once a week.
➢ Maintenance must be performed at least once every two
weeks, even when the machine is not in use. Allowing it to
stand may result in malfunction.
➢ Maintenance requires four SOL INK cleaning cartridges, so
be sure to have these on hand.
Be sure to shake the cartridges before each use.
➢ Before every printing operation, be sure to remove the white
ink cartridges and shake them gently. Failing to do this may
result in faint color or cause breakdown.
About the User's Manuals for This Machine
➢ Read this manual along with the SC-545EX User's Manual.
The present manual describes the differences between this
machine and the SC-545EX (six-color ink model).
➢ Read this manual first to gain an understanding of the
machine's characteristics and important cautions. For other
matters, refer to the SC-545EX User's Manual.
Drying white ink
➢ Allow all ink (not just white ink) to dry sufficiently. Note
that white ink in particular requires printing at a high den-
sity, and so is more difficult to dry than CMYK inks.
➢ We strongly recommend using a media dryer.
Using white ink out of doors
➢ Depending on conditions, the weatherability of white ink
may be inferior to that of CMYK inks. The ink may deterio-
rate and become powdery, peel or flake off, or smudge. We
recommend performing lamination when the white ink is
to be used out of doors.
