The various settings mentioned above are described below.

Setting Description If too low If too high

Passes	The number of passes specifies
	how many times the printheads
	will print over the same area of
	the substrate.

The amount of ink fired per time unit is larger and ink has less time to dry on the substrate. This may create coalescence and banding. The boundaries between passes may be more visible. However, printing speed is relatively high.

Colors are vivid, print quality is high. However, printing speed is relatively low. A lower curing temperature is needed, otherwise the substrate may be deformed.

		ink smears or substrate jams.

Curing temp.	Curing is needed to coalesce the
	latex, creating a polymeric film
	which acts as a protective layer,
	while at the same time removing
	the remaining co-solvents from
	the print. Curing is vital to
	ensure the durability of the
	printed images.

The print may emerge not fully polymerized, so that the ink smears when rubbed. The print may appear wet, after printing or later. You may need to increase the number of passes to achieve adequate curing.

The substrate may wrinkle under the curing module, causing defects such as blisters or liner detachment. The substrate wrinkles may also cause vertical banding or ink smears at the beginning of the following plot.
