  • What should be the gap between the head and the media?
    What happens if the gap between the head and media exceeds '2mm'?
    What precautions should be taken when printing on highly reflective media?
    How should transparent acrylic be prepared for printing?
    What are the considerations for jig operation?
Head gap
1. Please set the gap between the head and the media in "2mm or less".
2. If the gap between the head and media spreads "more than 2mm", ink
droplets have tendency to misting before reach to the media.
3. When the gap between the head and media spreads "more than 2mm",
please note that the reflected light from the UV curing lamp is increased and
it causes to cure the misting ink, land displacement for ink viscosity increase,
"nozzle clogging" and "uneven color".

Media
1. Please take sufficient care when printing to the media of high reflectivity.
Example) mirror, stainless steel polishing plate or the like
A) Fully perform the pre-test and do not use the media which show
missing nozzle or deflection.
B) Please note that the head failure caused by the reflection of the
media surface might be outside the scope of the guarantee.
2. For the transparent acrylic printing, please peel off the backing paper. Ink
that is cured with UV light reflected from the glossy surface of the backing
paper will be the cause of "the landing displacement" and "nozzle
clogging" of the ejected ink.

Notes to jig operation
1. Please design the height of jig surface at the same height as much as
possible to the media surface.
If there is an unevenness on the surfaces, the reflected light of UV curing
lamp may cause a problem to the machine.
2. Surface of jig
A) Aluminum is to reflect ultraviolet light, please blackened surface.
B) For some of materials which can not be blackened, stick the
laminate film of UV anti-reflection to the surface.
3. When setting multiple media to the table, it is also required to set the jig
between media.
4. In the case of transparent media, please do surround the media by a jig.
When the surface of jig and media are flat, the reflected
light hardly reach to the head.
If the jig height is lower than media surface, the reflected
light would reach to the head.
