Temperature profile
Many of the main and advanced substrate settings are related to temperature control, since this is a critical
area for correct printing results with latex inks on a wide variety of substrates. The diagram below
graphically represents the evolution of drying and curing temperatures during the various printing phases.
Note 1: Target temperatures and time are not to scale. For the specific values used for a given substrate
type (family), consult the main and advanced settings tables above.
Note 2: Standby time can be modified through the printer’s front panel, from firmware version 3.x
onwards.
