Setting the Dryer Temperature

Setting the temperature of the dryer appropriately dries the ink.

  • Basically, use the software RIP (color profile) settings for temperature. Even if you use the software RIP settings, if you need to adjust the temperature, such as when there is smudging or poor drying, change the temperature in the machine settings.

  • High temperatures make it easier to dry the ink, but temperatures that are too high can damage the media by deforming or deteriorating it. Select settings appropriate for the media.
Procedure
  1. Load the media.
  2. Tap the following location on the home screen.

    VG3_Panel_TOP_Heater
    The Heater Temperature screen appears.
  3. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_MINUS or AP-640_Panel_Icon_PLUS to set the Dryer temperature.
    When ink drying is poor, set the temperature to a higher value. Note, however, that a temperature that is too high may degrade the media or cause it to wrinkle.
  4. Tap Save to confirm your entry.
  5. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_HOME to go back to the original screen.
    MEMO
    • Default setting: 90°C (194°F)
    • You can also make this setting in the software RIP. When you have made the setting in the software RIP, the software RIP's setting is used.
