Hints and Tips for Temperature Control

The optimal temperature for the media heating system varies according to such factors as the type of media and the settings of the software RIP.

Relationship between the quality settings of the software RIP and temperature
  • If smudging or poor drying occur even after raising the temperature, try setting the printing quality of the software RIP to higher image quality. Conversely, if you want to use a faster print quality, raise the temperature.
Amount of ink
  • When you change the amount of ink using the settings for your software RIP, adjusting this may yield better results. If problems such as smudging persist even after raising the temperature, try reducing the amount of ink.
Other points to remember
  • When recommended settings for temperature, printing quality, and other values are given for your media, use the suggested settings.
