I have like a line every 3/8" in my screens - can this be fixed by some adjustment?

If you are seeing an overlap every 3/8” follow these steps to solve the problem:

STEP 1:

CLEAN THE PRINT HEAD:

Instructions on how to clean the print head can be found on page 62 (Chapter 4 – Appendix) in Kimosetter 340 User Manual or on page 125 (Chapter 4 – Appendix) in Kimosetter 410 User Manual.

Note: Use only Ethyl Alcohol or Isopropyl Alcohol and a cotton swab

STEP 2:

CLEAN THE TRANSPORT and FEED ROLLERS

Instructions on how to clean these rollers can be found on page 64 (Chapter 4 – Appendix) in Kimosetter 340 User Manual or on page 128 (Chapter 4 – Appendix) in Kimosetter 410 User Manual.

Note: Use only Ethyl Alcohol or Isopropyl Alcohol and a cotton swab

STEP 3:

After cleaning the print head and rollers print a sample to examine the overlap. If the overlap is still noticeable try the line feed adjustment.

STEP 4:

Adjust the line feed:

This is a procedure for correcting white lines (gap) and overlaps between the bands in the image caused by the print heads. (Line feed Adjustment)

NOTE: Use this procedure only if cleaning the print heads first did not solve the problem. This minute adjustment is meant to resolve only the finest of white lines and overlaps between the passes of the print heads.

1. Start the Kimosetter RIP program.

2. For the menu bar, choose SETUP>SETUP PROPERTIES>PRINT TAB.

3. For PC users: Hold down the control key (CTL) and click DRIVER OPTIONS.

For Mac users: Hold down the apple key and click DRIVER OPTIONS.

4. On the bottom of the Driver Options window, click ADJUSTMENTS.

5. A sliding scale will appear.

a. If a wider adjustment of the print heads needs to be made i.e. print overlaps, then slide the pointer to the right (+1) one increment at a time. Each band of the print should overlap slightly.

b. If a closer adjustment of the print heads needs to be made i.e. print gap too wide, then slide the pointer to the left (-1) one increment at a time.

6. Print the test page from the RIP and examine the alignment. (SETUP menu: TEST PRINT)

7. Repeat Steps 2-6 if more adjustments need to be made.

NOTE: If after a thorough cleaning, this procedure does not eliminate the dark lines in the print, please contact your authorized KIMOTO reseller.
