Chapter 6 Notable Matters and Common Problems 1.UV printer can print almost everything except T-shirt,you need do pre-coating first when print glass,metal etc. 2.After the machine use a while, you find the picture is not good, please print nozzle check and do head cleaning. 3.Ink bottle must on the position we appointed .too high or low position is not good ,it Will cause high pressure. the level of the ink must lower than the print head,otherwise the ink will leak out from the print head. the waste ink bottle should be checked at fixed period . 4.Special attention matters when printing A.Make sure the platform is located in the rear position before printing each time , let the machine be ready for printing. B.When the platform is in using process, do not drag, otherwise, it will can't normally print. C.The printer finish printing when there is no printing , t hen you can take out the material D.Make sure the flat surface of the print tray don’t touch the “Limit board” 5.Every time we only can release one print command, if the machine don’t print correctly, you need to cancel the print task and release the new print command. 6.Adjust the height of the platform. Different material has different thickness, we should adjust the height of the platform via the height adjustment knob.The best print quality is that the distance between the material and the head is 2mm, must avoid too high, otherwise it will damage print head ,not less than 3mm,too low position will affect the
image. We had helped you do the limited board before we send the
cargo out. It is the best height to be printed objects from the nozzle, when the print tray just can pass the limit board 7.You had better add sewing machine oil on the track that the print head move back and forth, in order to reduce resistance,otherwise it will happen flash red when start the machine ; What’s more,we should add oil on the track that the print tray go through, if the track resistance is big,the tray will not move, it will affect the print precision too. 8.Because the white ink is easy to precipitate, it is best for customer to shake the white ink for several minutes before using the machine everyday.If you don’t use the machine for a long time ,please shake the white ink for several minutes and suction the white ink from the ink sac again(the way please see “Suction Ink”),the ink that suction out can put back into the bottle and continue use,after suction the ink ,you should do head cleaning again. 9.The UV ink will curing when come across the UV- light, so please don’t lay the machine on the place where can be shined . 10.Attention of choosing picture. A.No matter the pictures from the Internet or the customer offer, you must determine the clarity of the picture,poor clarity will cause poor print quality. Generally speaking, we should provide more than 300dpi to get good quality . B.When we need to print pictures, it is best for us to design the picture the same size as material printed by PhotoShop (or AI), please don’t directly modify the size in the AcroRIP, otherwise the picture will widen or lengthen, the picture will be disproportionately. C.disproportionately you can study the PS on networkStudy website:http://www.duote.com/tech/photoshop/ NOTE: you just need do the strong cleaning in the following cases: 1).you can do strong cleaning when first time to use the machine , so that you can suction the ink to the pipe and print Head fast. 2).when the print head is a little clogging,you can do strong cleaning.
