Anapurna MV – Technical Specification – November 20089
:Anapurna MV – System specifications
• UV curing
• 2 Iron-doped UV lamps
• 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 usefull 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 the bulb life time.
• Practically this comes down to a usefull lifetime of around 3 months 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, automatically
measured by mechanical switch
• The smaller the gap the sharper the print will beBut ...- Heat sensitive media will cause problems, head crashes- Uneven substrates will cause problems, head crashes
• Higher gap settings will prevent head crashesBut ...- Too high head gap will cause unwanted inkspray, results in unsharp prints
• Preferred Head gap setting on :Anapurna MV - 1,3mm
• Extra recommend head gap settings for:
– High Quality prints on non-heat sensitive media - 1,1mm
– All heat sensitive media, whatever printmode used – 1,5mm
– Production mode – 1,5mm
* Other Head gaps require other alignments

• 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-DirectionalBut ...
• 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 the time to cool down
• Flat tints, vector images better to be print in Uni-Directional
– To avoid some unwanted Bi-Directional banding

Dust need to be removed for sure before printing color (on the
