Color Deadband Alignment (for 630/700 Series)

The color deadband alignments are necessary to ensure that the output images are being produced with the highest quality standards available while using the ENCAD printer in a bidirectional mode.

These adjustments help to compensate for any deviations that may have become apparent due to the carriage speed and/or the type of media loaded. Precise calculations are being performed to time the release of the ink drop so that they land on the media at the correct location. Differences in media thickness make the distance that the ink has to fall vary and this variable needs to be compensated for in the calcula- tions.
