Economy. This cycle can be used when replacing a light‐colored
Model material with a darker material (such as TangoBlack™ or
VeroBlack™), or if the exact color of the printed models is
unimportant.
The wizard flushes the system with the minimum amount of
material needed to ensure that models have the mechanical
properties of the new material.
•
Efficiency. This option is adequate, in almost all situations, for
printing models with uniform and accurate color. It is
recommended because it can potentially save 25 to 75 percent of the
material used to flush out the old material, compared to the High
Performance cycle. Note, however, that there may be times when the
shade (color) of the printed model is slightly affected by material
previously used.
The wizard identifies the feed tubes and print heads requiring
cleaning, based on your selections in the previous screens, and
flushes only these parts of the system.
•
High Performance. Use this cycle when the printed models must
have the exact color of the new material.
The wizard thoroughly flushes all of the feed tubes and print heads
needed for printing, based on your selections in the previous
screens. This is done even if a selected material is already present in
the system, since it might contain small amounts of material
previously used.
