Imaging on Sintra -
avoiding brown
edges
When imaging on Sintra set Full Carriage Travel to On in the
Operator/Maintenance/Print. This reduces the tendency of the
media to turn brown near the outer edges from excessive
exposure to UV light. By having it travel beyond the edge of the
media during each swath there is less concentration of UV light
during the time the carriage changes direction.
Avoid Printing Large
White Space Areas
Do not add white space to an image to center it on the media,
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. Turning on the regular
stripe on the away side of the image, will help prevent the
nozzles from over-spraying.
Imaging on a new
media
When imaging on a new media for the first time (i.e., you do not
have a media model for the media), we recommend that you
guess at an appropriate ink restriction level and heater duty
cycle. Then print either a test image or the job to be printed prior
to doing linearization. Once reasonable ink restriction values
and heater duty cycles are selected, linearization and ICC
profiling can be done, if required.
Imaging off the
media
If anything is printed off the media (e.g., diagnostic stipe or a
bleed) use a sacrificial scrap piece of media - either the same
height or up to 1 mm less. Failing to do so causes ink to
accumulate on the nozzle plate and may result in banding and
over-spray.
Use the Diagnostic
Stripe to identify
image problems
We recommend that the optional diagnostic stripe be enabled
from the control panel to print on the away side of the image.
This is a valuable troubleshootin tool that helps to identify the
source of image quality problems.
Masking off unused
vacuum areas
It is a good idea to mask off any unused area on the table for
active vacuum zones to improve suction of the media. A variety
of scrap materials can be used. One particularly good mask
material is cut vinyl transfer paper that is sticky on one side.
