    Application Hints and Tips | Application Hints and Tips The following recommendations are based on our experience with the T220 printer. They are offered as staring points or suggestions for dealing with various situations. Situation Recommendation Maximum The lower the better, currently anything above 70% for 8 pass Recommended Heat impacts image quality reliability.
  • Page 60 Océ | Operating the Arizona T220 Situation Recommendation Thermal Expansion Some media, such as Styrene or plexiglass, is subject to of Media expansion when subjected to heat. If multiple pieces of these media are used, allow enough space between the pieces to allow for thermal expansion. Placing tape on the table prior to laying down the media will prevent ink from being imaged onto the table.
  • Page 61 Application Hints and Tips | Situation Recommendation Avoid Printing Large Do not add white space to an image to center it on the media, White Space Areas instead use the center media option in the PosterShop Layout Preview dialog to center the image. Adding white space to the image increases the print time and may dry out the nozzles resulting in over-spray and banding.
  • Page 62 Océ | Operating the Arizona T220 Situation Recommendation Tips for printing on Some media may not accept ink well and bleed. Here are some difficult media tips for dealing with difficult media. 1. In some cases a different formulation of the same type of media might accept ink better than another formulation.
  • Page 63 Application Hints and Tips | Situation Recommendation Printing Double For work-and-turn jobs (flip media in length of table direction), Sided Jobs verify the gantry origin offset is set so the first possible printable pixel (zero location) is the left edge of the media, if it isn’t adjust it from the Operator Control Panel field service menu.
