Post-Printing Treatment
Post-printing treatment is recommended for models printed with several special-
purpose materials or for special applications. Recommendations for treating and
finishing models after printing are described in the Best Practices for the desired
printing material available on the Stratasys Support Center.
Photobleaching for Transparent Models
Models printed with clear materials, such as VeroClear (RGD810) have a slight
yellow tint when removed from the printer. This is especially true for models
printed with a glossy finish. The yellow tint fades naturally over time, but you can
greatly accelerate this process by using a suitable photobleaching treatment.
This involves exposing models to intense light immediately after printing.
Photobleaching methods and instructions are described in the Best Practices
for the relevant clear material. These are available on the Transparent
materials page on the Stratasys Support Center.
Refer to the Best Practices for:

Storing Models
Models are cured as they are printed, making them safe and stable for a long
time. However, proper storage conditions are necessary to prevent deforming.
• Keep printed models at room temperature and in a low-humidity environment.
• Do not expose models to direct sunlight and other heat sources.
