Managing VOCs

Using Mutoh printers with Eco-Ultra Solvent inks, volatile organic compounds will be released. (VOCs)In order to protect human health and the environment, VOCs must be managed. This means VOCS need tobe controlled and complying with all local, state and federal environmental, occupational health, and safetyregulations on VOCs in the atmosphere and in the workplace is needed.The amount of released VOCs depends on multiple factors: room volume, unforced ventilation, print mode,number of printers in the room, heaters settings, kind of media, use of extra dryers, print production� Because of differences in local regulations and working conditions, it�s recommended to consult a local consultancy agency to determine the regulations involved. An acknowledged laboratory can determine thetotal amount of released VOCs in the atmosphere and in the workplace. Consequently they can determine ifforced ventilation for occupational health and air pollution control devices are needed. An engineering firmcould be consulted on the installation of the ventilation system where prints are produced, handled andstored.

4.7.2.2 Advantages

1. Smoother images

�i²� keeps the bleed between passes under control and makes colour banding less obvious. Small misalignments of the heads are becoming less critical. Misfiring/missing nozzles are less visible in the output.

2. Image printability

Images are easier to print with less signs of banding/bleeding. Some images can be printed at higher speeds,without quality loss. Some difficult images become printable at faster speeds. Especially sign-images have amuch smoother surface.

3. ValueJet =easier to use

The step-adjust is becoming less critical, making it a lot easier for the user to have good quality outputs.

4. Gamut Boost

Because of the previous benefits, we clearly see a colour gamut boost by using the Intelligent Interweavingtechnique in combination with dedicated profiles.

5. Application Compatibility

Thanks to i², it is possible to reach predictable output results.


79 AP-75790 � Rev 1.4 -22/02/2011,

4.7.2.3 I² availability

There are a lot of different print modes available on the ValueJet 1614. For each mode, 3 different wavepatterns can be chosen, resulting in different speeds. To make it much easier, only 6 combinations arerecommended by Mutoh.
