1. Adjust the drying power up or down.
2. Adjust the curing power up or down.
3. Illustrations of the possible effects of not enough, too much, and correct heating respectively.
4. Adjust the vacuum level up or down. The input and output tensions are adjusted automatically,
depending on the vacuum level.
5. Illustrations of the possible effects of not enough, too much, and correct tension respectively.
To apply and save the values, press the Apply button in the dialog box before closing it. The new settings are
saved for that particular substrate type for the current and future prints. They are not applied to all substrate
types.

Action
Reduce the number of passes.
Possible risks and compensations
● Risk: Poor curing performance.
◦ Compensation 1: Reduce the ink density by one or two levels for each level that the number of
passes is reduced.
Example: For most front-lit materials, 6-pass 100% ink > 4-pass 80% ink > 3-pass 60% ink.
◦ Compensation 2: Slightly increase the curing airflow to eliminate minor curing artifacts.
◦ Compensation 3: Increase the curing temperature if you choose not to compensate with the ink
density.
NOTE: This is feasible only with substrates that do not show thermal deformation defects at
higher temperatures.
● Risk: When you reduce the number of passes, especially to 4 or fewer, some artifacts such as grain,
bleed, and coalescence may become visible. It is possible to compensate to some extent with the
following settings:
