Drying time
With some printing materials and environmental conditions the ink needs some time to dry before the
printing material is unloaded. The following settings are available.
● Optimal: the printer automatically determines the appropriate drying time, based on the printing
material you have selected and the current temperature and humidity. If any drying time is
required, a “drying time to go” countdown will be displayed on the front panel.
● Extended: the default drying time is extended. This can be used if you find that the default
drying time is not enough to dry the ink sufficiently in your environment.
● Reduced: the default drying time is reduced. This can be used if you are keen to get prints as
fast as possible, and you find that the reduced drying time causes no significant problem in your
environment.
● None: no drying time is provided. This can be used, for example, if you are manually removing
the prints as fast as the printer is producing them.
To change the drying time, see Change the drying time.
Using paper with the stacker [4500]
NOTE This topic applies to the HP Designjet 4500 Printer series only.
The stacker can handle cut sheets of paper between 420 mm (16.5 in, A3 portrait) and 1189 mm
(46.8 in, A0 portrait) in length. Shorter prints will be enlarged to the minimum length with extra white
space; longer prints risk falling off the stacker.
Some printing materials are not compatible with the stacker, including:
● Matte and clear film
● Glossy paper (except instant-dry glossy paper, which may be used)
When printing in Fast mode on Translucent Bond, Vellum, or Natural Tracing Paper, there could be
some ink transfer marks in highly inked areas. Select Normal or Best mode to avoid this problem.
See Change the print quality.
NOTE You will have to remove the accumulated pile of cut sheets from the stacker every
now and then.
If you retrieve just one job from the stack, try to leave the stack in a tidy condition, otherwise
you may experience stacking problems and paper jams.
