13.2. Media corners lift a bit up (rigid media):
- Place another piece of rigid media (same height or lower) in front of the loaded
rigid. This will ensure a stronger vacuum on the front corners.
- Move the substrate to another left margin position so that you will cover with
the media plate as little as possible air-compartments of your vacuum table;
The not-used vacuum compartments can then be fully closed with the
corresponding valve, leaving more vacuum for the used compartments.
- Avoid that a media edge is laying down on the separation line between 2
neighboring vacuum compartments; In this zone of about 8 cm, you have less
vacuum available.
13.3. Image size/border: (Wasatch Rip)
By default, when you install the Wasatch Rip, there is an EPS-border active.
This will put a border of 2.54cm around every new opened image.
This will make borderless image printing very difficult, in terms of placement.
In Wasatch RIP; select OPTIONS, Set EPS Border….and set the value to “0”.
13.4. Positioning of media and use of the vacuum valves
The vacuum table is divided in 4 inner compartments; The table width is 254 cm, so
each compartment is about 63.5 cm. The borders of these compartments are marked
with a yellow bullet onto the beam bar, and the compartments are numbered from
home to purge in sequence V1 until V4.
When positioning the media, it is important to lay down the media symmetrical to the
compartments, and completely cover as much compartments as possible.
Try to avoid that the media edge is laying down in the separation line between 2
compartments (less vacuum on that place).
Only that way, a reliable transport is possible.
Also the valves at the rear of the engine have to be set accordingly:
- set the valve of a completely covered compartment to 20°
- set the valve of a partly covered compartment to 90° (=full power)
- set the valve of a not used compartment to 0° (=closed)
- if 2 neighbor compartments are closed: leave that ring blower OFF
Without doing this, the vacuum in a fully covered area is much higher than on the half
covered area, with as result that the media will show ‘a smiley’ onto the rear end of
the vacuum table, and this can lead to head crashes and not straight media transport.
