  • Page 19: Overview About The Printheads

    217mm Recommended:15 mm The JET Rapid works with the same print modes as the JET3up. Due to the higher operating speeds, the recommended distance between print head and substrate is 15 mm. Shorter distances bear the risk of contaminating the print head Larger distances may have a negative effect on the quality of the printouts.
  • Page 20 The JET Rapid with the Option SPEED PLUS comes with the same print head technology as the JET Rapid Wire but he is only available with the beveled head cover which provides single line printouts up to a speed of 800 m/min It was designed for high-speed applications and substrates that are not suitable for the JET Rapid Wire with its stepped head cover.

  • Page 23: Available Inks (All Types Of The High Speed Series)

    4 Available inks (All types of the High Speed series) For technical reason it is not possible to use the full range of LEIBINGER inks for high-speed printing. The selection of the available inks depends on the used RAPID type and the nozzle size.
  • Page 24: Cleaning Requirements

    Attention Due to the higher printing speed of the JET RAPID printers, the number of printouts per time unit may be much higher than with the JET3up. Therefore, it is necessary to check the gutter tube for ink staining on a regular basis.

  • Page 29: Adjustment Of The Printhead

    To guarantee the desired print quality always, it is important to adjust the correct distance between the printhead and the product. Depending on the printer: JET Rapid, JET Rapid with the option Speed Plus or JET Rapid Wire (PI) the printhead distance is 0, 5 or 15 mm.
  • Page 30: Printhead Positioning And Printout Quality

    If, for instance, a print job for the JET3up with a 32 dot high quality font allows a printing speed of 30 meter/minute, it will be possible to print the same job with the JET Rapid at a speed of around 40 m/min.
