Application Hints and Tips
The following recommendations are based on our experience with the Arizona T220UV
printer. They are offered as staring points or suggestions for dealing with various
situations.
Situation
Recommendation
Maximum Ink
Restrictions
You can go right up to the maximum of 100% with 100%
overstrike, if required. Use only enough ink to achieve sufficient
Dmax and good-looking reds.
Recommended
Dmax Values
Recommended Dmax values are approximately: C,M 1.4, Y .8, K
1.6.
Increasing Black
Density
Use ICC profiles. Or use color replacement to change 100%K to
a rich black.
40% C, 30% M, 30% Y, 100 %K have given good results on a
variety of media. The maximum recommended values are 60%
C, 40% M, 40% Y, 100% K.
Head Swabbing
Frequency
Monitor the diagnostic strip and swab heads if a recovery purge
of the problem color does not resolve the problem. The required
swab frequency will be dependent on many factors such as:
printer duty cycle used, print volume, and media/air cleanliness.
In a low volume production setting, typically swab heads about
once a week.
Printing on uneven
surfaces
Use a thickness equal to the thickest value of the media, and
print unidirectional.
Overprinting
Techniques
Overprinting may be required on some media to build up ink
density - e.g., backlit material or glass. Hitting color and proper
linearization when using overprinting is difficult.
