Tips & Tricks for Glass & Acrylic On UV-Cure Printers 1
Glass, acrylic, and other similar clear media present unique opportunities and challenges for printing with UVcurable inks. This document describes a number of recommended techniques to get the most out of your Designjet H35000/H45000 Series, (ColorSpan 5400UV Series) UVR or UVX printer and these media types. General Guidelines The primary consideration for glass and most other clear media is that these media do not provide a surface with good adhesion properties.
Once the calibration has been performed, take note of the Media Feed Number (MFN) displayed on the printer’s control panel and the end of the calibration. This MFN can be entered again in the future when printing on the same material, eliminating the need to reprint a calibration pattern. Note that the MFN is specific with regard to sheet dimensions and to print mode. A separate calibration will need to be performed to obtain valid MFNs for each desired print mode.
