DRY TIME PER PRINT HEAD PASS
The drying time of the ink between print head passes can be set in.1 Sec. Increments for a range of 0 to 5 Seconds.
This can be useful in reducing horizontal banding caused when the computer cannot keep the print head moving at a
consistent rate for the complete printed image. Inconstant horizontal banding occurs because of the difference in the
drying and ink blending between the passes when the print head is consistently moving and after a pause in the print
head movement. The horizontal band appears after the pause because the ink that has already been laid down has
blended and dried during the time of the pause, then when printing resumes the fresh ink cannot blend with the
already dried ink causing a visible band in the print. Adding a drying time after each print head pass results in a more
consistent blending and drying of the ink eliminating the horizontal banding due to inconstant ink drying due to incon-
sistent pauses of the print head.
