:Anapurna Mw UV Curing system
UV curing 2 Iron-doped UV lamps (D-Type bulb; Arc length 140 mm)
With intensity setting Full or Half
Expected total life time of a UV lamp bulb: 1000h Total lifetime = bulb giving light (UV + visible + IR)
After some time (aging) : emission power is degrading
At some moment : the UV emission is lower than the required
emission power for optimal curing of the ink By experience, the useful life time with enough power to cure
the ink, is approximately 500 hourswhen bulb is continuously ON.
Every switch OFF/ON takes away approximately 15 minutes of thebulb life time.
Practically this comes down to a useful lifetime of around 3months at a heavy use of the engine (40 hours a week).

Image quality strongly dependent ontype of substrate and Image content
Head gap setting
Head gap = distance nozzle plate to substrate, automaticallymeasured by mechanical switch
The smaller the gap the sharper the print will beBut ...- Heat sensitive media can cause problems, head crashes
- Uneven substrates will cause problems, head crashes Higher gap settings will prevent head crashes
But ...- Too high head gap will cause unwanted ink spray,results in unsharp prints
Preferred Head gap setting on :Anapurna MW - 1,3mm
Extra recommend head gap settings for:
All heat sensitive media, whatever print mode used 1,5mmRemark: change on Head gap require new alignments

:Anapurna MW Image Quality vs. Productivity
Image quality strongly dependent ontype of substrate and Image content
Print shuttle speed
Minimum: 0.48m/sec - Maximum: 0.84m/sec Adjustable in 10 steps,recommended optimum at step 7 = 0.72m/sec
Printing direction, Uni- vs. Bi-Directional printing Production (=printing speed) obtained by printing Bi-Directional
But ...
Sharp text will always obtained by printing in Uni-Directional
Better results in 4pass uni then 8pass bi
Heat sensitive media easier to be print in Uni-Directional
The way back without printing gives the substrate time to cool down
Flat tints, vector images better to be print in Uni-Directional
To avoid some unwanted Bi-Directional banding

Image quality strongly dependent ontype of substrate and Image content
Line and Text Quality
Up to 0,1 point horizontal and vertical lines in all colors Up to 4 point positive and 6 point negative text
Front to Back printed image accuracy:
Depends strongly on external factors such as:
expansion of the media by heat
Tolerances of the engine are doubled when printing recto/verso
In worse case, total accuracy can go up to 4mm

Image quality strongly dependent ontype of substrate and Image content
UV Power setting Half and Full-Power setting on:
Normal UV Both UV Reverse UVSpecial Technical note on How to set a correct UV power available
Half UV Power setting can be very helpful for Heat sensitive mediaBut ...
Be aware that some of those heat sensitive media need enough UVpower to assure an adequate ink adhesion
Fluted display polypropylenebetter be printed with full UV Power, Uni-Directional printing mode,Head gap of 1,5mm
Due to extensive heat radiation, for Safety and Image Quality reasonsprint-shuttle moves every pass from home to purge and back
Printing small sized media will take longer
