Choosing ink options

Ink Preheat

Cartridge heat settings are optimized for KODAK PROFESSIONAL media being
printed in a standard office environment. If you are experiencing banding, poor fills, or
over dot gain, and you have tried all other means to correct these conditions, you may
want to experiment with the ink preheat settings. These will vary depending on the
ambient temperature where the printer is located and the media and ink used.

Defaults for the heater setting are determined by the ink type in use. The printer deter-
mines this by reading the chip on the back of each cartridge. When you adjust the ink
settings, you are increasing or decreasing the heat from the default temperature. Press-
ing the Previous and Next buttons increases or decreases the temperature. When you
have reached the limits of the temperature range, the panel will display either MAX or
OFF. These settings are saved in the printer. If you change to a different type of ink, you
may need to change the heater settings to accommodate the new ink type.

If you are working in a cold or dry environment, try turning the heat up for a larger dot
size. If the heat is turned up too far, the ink may run or sputter. If you are working in a
humid or hot environment, turn the heat down for a smaller dot size.
