Calibration

Media Handling

The Advanced Automation Eye uses a high-resolution imaging sensor, colorimetric photodiode, and embedded software to align the printheads, detect and replace missing jets, linearize output, and color profile media.

◆AutoSetTM calibration — uses a high-resolution digital imag- ing sensor to automatically align printheads bidirectionally for precise positioning of ink jet pixels, and runs AutoJet.

◆AutoJetTM calibration— compensates for lost or misfiring jets by locating them and using substitute jets without slowing printing speed.

◆AutoTuneTM scheduling — runs Purge-n-Wipe and/or Auto- Jet at user-defined intervals, for highest quality during unat- tended printing. Optionally, if unsubstituted non-working jets are found, printing stops until the problem is corrected.

◆Automatic color calibration — uses an onboard photodiode to linearize output over the entire density range (with print server or RIP support).

◆Color profiling — with print server or RIP support, the onboard photodiode can be used to create custom Color- Mark® and ICC color profiles for third-party media.

◆Tensioned roll-to-roll media handler — supply and takeup spools are tensioned to manage vinyl medias on heated sur- faces. Tensioning is automatically maintained consistently on the supply and takeup as the roll diameters change during printing. Optionally, the supply or takeup motors can be idled during printing. In roll-fed mode, the supply must be loaded, but the media can optionally be left off the takeup.

◆Steel media spools — the takeup supports up to 7.5 inch (190.5 mm) diameter rolls of vinyl media on 3-inch cores. The supply can also accept 2-inch cores with the supplied 2-inch collets.

◆Rigid cut-sheet option — if installed, this combination of hardware and software enables printing on rigid cut-sheet media up to 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) thick.

◆Media width sensing — automatically detects the width and position of the media loaded, for precise image placement.

◆AutoEdge — automatically aids the loading of rigid sheets by detecting right, left and leading edges, and warns the user if the sheet is skewed.
