8.1 Create Custom Powder Types

There may be occasions when you need to fine-tune your powder settings. To do so, follow the steps

below. The examples show a ZPrinter 450 as the target printer, but the same general steps apply for all

printers.

1. Select Settings > Powder Settings to display the Powder Settings dialog. Select the Powder Type

for your printer type from the left panel. This becomes the Base Powder of your custom powder type.

2. Select Save As New Powder. Type in a unique name for the new powder. You cannot duplicate pow-

der names.
