EnduraINK DTx ink works best when the surface temperature of the media is
between 113 and 131°F. The best way to achieve this optimal media surface tem-
perature is to set the heater temperature at 165-180°F. The recommended default
heater setting for paper and 2 to 3 mil adhesive backed vinyl is 170°F. Thicker
materials such as 6 mil vinyl may require a higher temperature setting.
Depending on saturation, some prints may need a few minutes to dry before han-
dling or loading in the vinyl cutter for contour-cutting.
Note: Leaving most media idle over the heater for more than five minutes may
result in heat absorption that results in rippling or cockling of the face film. This
can result in a head strike when printing resumes. If the printer is idle and no
jobs are planned for more than ten minutes it is strongly recommended that the
heater temperature setting be reduced to 120°F or lower, or that the printer be
turned off until it is needed.
Note: When printing resumes, it is strongly recommended that the user pull the
media forward a few inches so that the printer is not printing on media that may
be rippled enough to cause a head strike.
