Ricoh 70 manual Ink Recommendations, Paper Curl in Preprinted Paper

Ink Recommendations

Ink used in preprinting should be non-volatile and oily. Ink suitable for pre-printing is cured by:

„Ultraviolet or heat (cured for 1 day)

„Oxidative polymerization (cured for 7 days)

„Ink cured by heat (Tinplate Ink)

Before using preprinted forms, make sure the ink is completely cured to prevent it from transferring to the printer’s rollers and contaminating the internal printer mechanism.

The following inks are not suitable for preprinting:

„Quick set ink

„Ink dried by evaporation

„Cold set ink

„Ink dried by sedimentation or deposition

„Ink dried by penetration

NOTE:

Preprinted paper should still meet the paper specifications after the preprinting process is complete.
