Introduction

Procedure

  1. Increase the [Extended carriage travel], when you are printing a small image width. Tune step by step until you find the best swath duration.Change the media settings.
  2. Increase the [Printer platen temperature]. Tune with steps of 2 degrees Celsius, and with every step check if the print quality is still sufficient. At high temperature the gloss will become less.
