Reducing the UV Lamp Illumination Intensity

Depending on the media, the standard illumination intensity may be too strong, affecting the printing quality. Additionally, there are printing methods where it is desirable to not cure the ink, allowing for decoration. This section explains how to configure the settings to reduce the illumination intensity of the UV lamp in these situations.

If you change Media Type, Print Quality, Printing Resolution , or Mode after configuring settings, set the illumination intensity again.

Depending on the model you are using, this setting may be disabled.
