Dry Time Guidelines - Printer in Auto Take-up Mode
The NovaJet 800/KODAK 4800 series printers are considered some of the fastest
inkjet printers in the market. Consequently, certain images, using high-speed pass
settings, may not have enough time to dry before being automatically rolled up on
the take-up assembly. This is usually determined by the ink lay down percentage.
Though a typical image would only use 150% ink lay down, some images that use
more ink may require a slower print speed to use the auto take-up feature. The
following chart is intended as a general guideline to monitor the output or indicate
precautionary measures should be taken. Your results will vary depending upon
environmental conditions, ink loading, media, and printer settings.

indicates there will not be enough time to completely dry the print before reaching
the Automatic Take-up. Precautionary measures should be taken to insure that the
image would not be damaged.

NOTE:
These recommendations are based upon printing in conditions of 50% to 65% relative
humidity (RH) and at ambient temperature (72° F, 22° C). You may experience different results if
your temperature and humidity values are different. If your RH is less than 50%, you can expect
much faster dry times. If your RH is greater than 65%, your dry times will normally be longer.
The above chart is intended as a general guideline.
