Introduction

This guide is intended to provide users of Xerox oil inkjet media and Xerox or Seiko oil inkjet printer solutions with information about media performance and application suitability, and generally to help with selection of wide format media to ensure that customers expectations are reliably met. This guide is a compilation of applications for digital prints created on the X2 inkjet prin ters, mostly aimed at the print for pay and graphic arts market, although a section also addresses the needs of GIS and CAD applications.

The procedures in this guide are general and assume that you are already familiar with the X2 user guide and general printer / RIP software functions.

Individual media data pages give product specific details and production tips. The Applications Ideas & Procedures section gives instructions and tips specific to a range of common applications. An overview of

lamination techniques is also included

The Xerox oil inkjet media range is formulated for use on Xerox and non-Xerox printing equipment alike, but is specific to oil piezo. These media are not suitable for either aqueous or solvent inkjet.

www.xerox.com/iccprofiles.

Oil inkjet is the smallest sector of the inkjet market and provides a means of printing for both high-quality, close-viewed photo-realistic graphics as well as high production volumes. Oil-based i nks give outdoor durabili ty and colour-fast imaging approaching that of solvent printing systems but without the environmental issues often associated with solvents. Piezo technology and fast-drying oil inks in the X2 enable print speeds of up to 55 square metres per hour which often makes X2 printing the preferred option for high volume graphics print production, for such as billboard sets.

Oil inkjet printing requires all media to be coated with an ink receiver with specific properties to hold oil ink in place and allow it to dry properly. Aqueous and solvent media are rarely suitable for oil and some can prove spectacularly unsuitable. The properties of oil ink receiver coatings do cause limitations in terms of the print applications: Clear film and glossy media are not possible for oil printing. Xerox oil inkjet media is formulated specifically for this technology and designed to extend the capabilities of oil inkjet printing as widel y as possible across the range of possible applications.

All Xerox Inkjet media are tested and supported for the printing applications described and are backed by the usual Xerox guarantees. Xerox identifies the media recommended for oil inkjet printing with a green coloured band on the product label. These media should not be confused with inkjet media for aqueous or solvent systems as properties and compatibilities are specific.

Further information on Xerox oil inkjet media, as well as other ranges for aqueous and solvent inkjet printing is available through your usual Xerox supplies contact or via the same enquiries facility on the Xerox website.

General Guidance

Choosing Appropriate Materials

Xerox Oil Inkjet Media all vary in coating structure, physical properties (such as base weight and thickness), and base material type (paper, fabric, films or vinyl). These variances not only need a specific printer set-up to successfully run each material through the printer, but will cause some differences in achievable image quality per media type, eg. Fabrics give different image quality to vinyl even if both are printed in the same resolution.

The coating layer or layers on each media type differ because the structure must take account of base properties (i.e. thickness, absorbency, smoothness, texture), must provide suitable adhesion to both printed image (ink) and the base material, and the base-coating combination must meet the needs of the application. Each media is also specified to print within a range of resolutions.

The most common mistake in constructing a graphic is using incorrect materials. The choice of materials requires critical information about the end-use. Ask the following questions to determine the application requirements and use the information in this guide to select the materials that will work best.

1. How will the print be viewed?

What is the viewing distance – close-up in an exhibition hall, hanging 10 stor ies up on the side of a building, or on the side of a moving vehicle?

2. What are the environmental conditions where the print will be displayed?

Indoors or outdoors? Is there a harsh element such as poll ution, water, wind or direct exposure to sunlight? Are there extreme weather patterns and fluctuations?

3. What is the expected life or durability of the print?

How long will it be displayed? How many times will it be used, stored, or posted?

4. What types of finishing or rigid materials for mounting are needed?

Will it be finished with a laminate or encapsulated? Is a glossy surface best or would glare hinder viewing? Does the print need to be made into a banner with seams and eyelets?

5. What is the budget for the job?

Durability of Graphics

Durability is a function of both ink and media. Oil-based pigmented inks for X2, Xpress and other oil printers offer prop erties that differ considerably in terms

of UV stability / light-fastness and general resistance to degradation. All are generally suitable for use outdoors, with or without lamination. Over-laminates and encapsulation will extend the life of most images, protecting against moisture, mechanical handling, abrasion or UV.

Often a graphic has a life requirement of a few weeks, but signage applications can require the print to survive without deterioration for several years. The conditions of the environment in which a graphic is to be displayed should also be taken into consideration.

Ink and media are both critical factors in the life expectancy of oil inkjet prints. The properties of th e media must support the ink capabilities and must match the needs of the application as part of the total graphics construction. This guide describes the capabilities for each Xerox oil media printed with X2 inks.

Tests are carried out to simulate different environments. For INDOOR applications, the expected life is measured under moderate conditions assuming the graphic will be displayed in a normal office environment with limited exposure to sunlight. The moderate OUTDOOR environment refers to a climate with mild temperature ranges (4-27˚C), low humidity (10-50%RH) and minimal ambient UV and pollution exposure. Different environmental factors may affect the application durability. Abuse, wind and moisture will have cumulative effects on reducing the print life. Any testing and support for conditions outside these

parameters is the responsibility of the print provider.

The following table gives a quick reference indication of expected life of imaged media indoors and outdoors.

No over-laminate required unless subject to moisture or abrasion. Laminate will not extend UV life indoors or outdoors.

Expected image life varies for each media type, and according to the type of over-laminate used. The table above lists durability expectations of each media when laminated with a 75 micron thermal laminate on both sides of the print (encapsulated with a 4mm sealed edge for outdoor use) unless otherwise specified.

www.xerox.com/iccprofiles.com

Waterfastness

The term "waterfast" or "water resistant" should not be interpreted to mean "water proof", i.e. a printed image may be submerged under water, or be held under a running tap without destroying the printed image.

Definition of Waterfast/Water Resistant - these two terms are used interchangeably. It is the abi lity of a printed image to withstand the effects of water with minimal or acceptable change.

Clarification: Effects of water refers to brief contact with water, such as the result of spilling a glass of water and immediately blot-drying with a clean, lint-free cloth. It does not include exposure to any other liquid (such as coffee, tea, alcoholic beverages, milk, seawater, etc.). Minimal or acceptable change r efers to the amount of ink migration ("running") that occurs when a printed image is exposed to water. Minimal is slight ink migration from any area of the image, and acceptable would mean no visible ink migration.

Many media are waterfast or water resistant- including white matt film, pressure sensitive vinyls, banner fabric and banner vinyl. Details on their durability can be found on the media fact sheets or the durability guide.

However most water resistant media are not waterproof and CANNOT be submerged in water or subjected to running water. Outdoor blue back paper is waterproof when used in its normal billboard

application process. See media fact sheet for detail s. Finishin g guidelines for out door durability e.g. lamination must be followed when constructing a print for out door use.

Printer Compatibility

All Xerox oil inkjet media are formulated for Xerox X2 equipment but they can also be used in Xpress a nd Seiko equipment with some differences in output performance. Appropriate print testing should be carried out before commencing any large-scale production to ensure expectations are fully met. Durability guidelines listed apply for X2 printed images.

Use of Non-approved Supplies

Xerox authorised inks, media or other supplies are designed and tested to assure optimum performance from the X2 printer. Non-approved materials may not produce the same quality product and may cause service problems or damage to the unit. Such damage will void the warranty and may result in additional service cost.

The X2 printer is sensitive to unique core tolerances, as well as, media curl, which will cause the printer to jam excessively. Unacceptable core tolerances will cause media slippage and image mis-registration.

Non-Xerox media may not fully be tested in the "corner-to-corner" environmental range, therefore is not assured to work successfully in the X2. For example, media that is not capable of performing in the high (or low) end of the humidity and temperature range may cause material "cockle" or head strikes. Although some media will produce an acceptable level of image quality for some regions, sometimes, the overall quality and material coating consistency cannot be assured or backed by Xerox.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The use of non-qualified supplies in the Xerox X2 could damage the printer. Such damage will void the warranty and may incur additional service costs chargeable to the user. They include:

Head Strike which is defined as any contact between the nozzle surface of the writing heads and the media in the paper path. Head strikes may cause no ill effect to the writing, however it should be taken as a warning that a Head Crash is about to occur.

Head Crashes occur when the print heads catch the edge of the media as i t begins to traverse the print area. This is extremely damaging to the print heads and very expensive to repair. Media that is too thick or curls at the edge can cause head crashes.

If the cause of this damage is due to use of unapproved media, the customer will be charged for parts and labour for repairs. The labour process requires the damaged head to be replaced and the machi ne recali brated, resulting in extensive chargeable service and production “down time”.

ICC Profiles & Settings

Although certain generic settings can enable good colour reproduction, the correct printer firmware and software settings should be used. Overall ink limit, individual ink restrictions and linearisation should be adjusted and set specifically per printer, ink, RIP software and media used. Limiting and calibrating the amount of ink used optimises both image quality and drying time, and consequently accelerates the production process. A specifically created ICC profile should also be used whenever possible to optimise i mage quality and production of colour. A selection of settings and profiles is available from Xerox supplies sales contact.

www.xerox.com/iccprofiles or via your usual

Image Quality

The following tips may help you to understand the image quality you should expect from using Xerox media in your printer, as well as offering hints for ensuring output quality meets application needs:

• LOAD the media properly. It may help to run thicker media in the rear roll position.

• EXPECTATIONS: Image quality varies from one medi a to another. Each media is designed for a set of

application needs. Selecting the right media ensures that image quality expectations are met.

• ENVIRONMENT: Viewing distance and di splay environment must be considered when determining if output quality is acceptable, e.g. viewing distance of 5m may allow a degree of image imperfection.

• CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES: More than one media type may suit any given application. Ease-of-use, image quality, and display site all have a bearing on selection. Experiment with alternatives.

• PRINTER SPEED Due to speci fic media characteristics, different print modes or printing speeds are used. For projects requiring duplicate images in significant quantities, run test images in various modes to determine the most appropriate speed for your application needs. X2 is designed to provide sellable output at high speed.

• PANTONE® COLOURS Colour reproduction is a function of the RIP or software connected to the printer. Xerox provides profiles and settings specific to media, RIP, ink and printer. These profiles are balanced to perform in a wide range of colour applications. Most RIPs also allow the user to update, adjust or create colour profiles to meet specific colour requirements. Profiles can be downloaded from

www.xerox.com/iccprofiles for Xerox X2 and both Onyx and Caldera software.

• COCKLE Exceeding the media ink limits can cause cockle. This is undesirable not only in the finished print but also because it may result in head strikes. A head strike occurs when the print head ru bs a raised point on the media surface. All Xerox inkjet media is tested to ensure that recommended settings and profiles will not risk a problem with head strike and will have acceptable finished quality when dried.

• BANDING A certain level of banding may be visible in inkjet print output. This is inherent to inkjet printing technology. Some possible actions to address banding (not to be confused with gradient segmentation):

a) Increase Passes - Banding becomes obscured as the number of passes is increased. b) Set Printing Direction - Unidirectional printing generally gives less banding than bidirectional. c) Adjust Carriage Speed – Some printers give the operator the ability to slow the carriage speed. d) Convert Black - Convert single colour black areas to 4 colours (CMYK) in the application software. e) Rotate - Try rotating the image to reduce the appearance of banding.

• GHOSTING is when the appearance of one i mage offsets onto subsequent images when printing large blocks of negative text (blank text inside a colour). This is a feature of oil inkjet systems, not a failure of any one individual item, i.e. ink or media. The reason for this phenomenon is a difference in the amount of oil in two areas of the same density. Although the inks are instantly dry to the touch, it takes som e time for the oil in the inks to completely disperse and stabilise in the media coating. If left exposed to the air this effect will disappear over time. Several workarounds are possible, depending on the workflow and application. Please see the suggestions listed in the Application Ideas & Procedures section for Paper Applications in this guide to determine which method suits you.

Fire Resistance & Flame Retardant Properties

Media for exhibition and display graphics are sometimes required to meet flammability ratings. The main standards used are the “M” and the “B” ratings ( B1 often considered similar but not higher than M1) and the US NFPA standards. There is no common international standard at the time of writing.

A material is classified M1 if the tests with the electrical burner (NF P 92-503) results in:

• No inflammation remaining longer than 5 seconds after removing the flame

• No points of ignition with flame propagation higher then 25 cm above the lower edg e of the probe

• No drops of flaming material (test for thermo fusible materials NF P 92-505 to be passed)

If the material pierces without inflammation or with inflammation which subsides within 5 seconds, the persistency test (NF P 92-504) results in no flame persistency at all and no burning material drops.

M2 A material is classified M2 if it does not fall into category M1 because

• Inflammation persists longer than 5 seconds after removing of the flame

• Destruction of the material deeper than 35 cm from the lower edge of the probe is observed

• No drops of flaming material (test for thermo fusible materials NF P 92-505 to be passed)

If the material pierces without inflammation or with inflammation which subsides within 5 seconds, the persistency test NF P 92-504 results in flame persisting for no longer than 5 seconds without propogation and no burning material drops.

ASTM e84 measures the burning behaviour of a material when exposed to heat and fire by observing the flame spread across the specimen when exposed to an ignition source face down.

NFPA 701 establishes two test procedures to assess the propagation of flame beyond the area exposed to an ignition source for textiles and films. The tests are appropriate for testing materials that are used as draperies, curtains or other window treatments, awnings, tents, traps and plastic films used for decorative or other purposes.

Supplies Storage & Handling

• Ink and media are sensitive to environmental conditions. It is important that supplies are kept in a

controlled area for the best image quality and operations when used in the printer.

• For Standard Inks and Media:

Printing: 18-30˚C non-condensing 30-70% Relative Humidity. Storage: 5-35˚ 40-60% Relative Humidity

Important: Inks can be permanently damaged if exposed to temperatures outside of this range for any period of time.

• If medi a are kept in an environment outside of these parameters, they may still be used to print perfectly,

but media should be allowed to normalise in the correct conditions for sufficient time, at least 48 hours prior to use.

• Always store inkjet media products in their original cartons and also in the original wrapper or bag. The full

packaging is designed to give the best protection to base materials and ink recei ver coatings to maximise product life.

• In case medi a rolls are separated from their cartons, every roll of Xerox media can be precisely identified

from information printed on the inside of the core.

• Most medi a where sensitised with an ink receiving coating or with other treatments such as adhesive will

have a finite shelf life. Nominally the shelf life expectancy is as described below if kept in original, unopened packaging, but this largely depends on precise storage conditions.

Media: 2 years Vinyl: 1 year Inks: 2 years

• The i mage surface must be kept dry and free of grease, oil, silicones and dirt to achieve best results. It is

recommended that cotton gloves be used when handling inkjet-coated materials to avoid fingerprints.

• Inks can be permanently damaged if exposed to temperatures outside their range for any period of time.

This guide is not as an instruction manual, it is provided as a source of information and advice, based on practical test experience, and knowledge. While care has been taken to anticipate problems and outline possible difficulties, it is impossible to cover all situations and the content and procedures described do not constitute a warranty. It is highly recommended that you test any application before a job is attempted. The variety of possible applications makes it necessary for users to take specific steps to ascertain the suitability of materials described here for their specific purposes.

X2 Inks

X2 graphics inks are pigmented, oil-based, and designed specifically for use with X2 printers and media. These inks are formulated to be smudge resistant, instant drying and can be laminated i mmediately in most cases. The colour gamut is based on the SWOP (Standard Web Offset Printing) standards for press-quality, colour graphics, versatility and easy colour calibration. The inks do not require any special drying time after printing.

6-colour printing adds two tonal inks, Light Cyan and Light Magenta, to the typical suite of 4-col our process printing (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). These colours improve the gradient perce ption between dithered process colour shifts, or “smoothes out” blended areas of an image by introducing lighter tones of the colours that construct the blend. For example, skin tones appear more true because the colour of dots creati ng the image on paper are not as dark from one percentage to the next.

Critical Operating Instructions

• X2 inks are instantly dry to the touch when printed. All X2 prints can be laminated immediately. Please check the individual product specification sheet for details on handling and lamination functions.

• Ink yields are ultimately determined by the image being printed. For example, heavy saturated image s will consume more ink at different ratios than light coverage graphics. The following statement provides a general assumption to help in determining approximate ink consumption and costs:

• Printing with 75% ink coverage in 360 dpi print mode, one set of inks (3 litres, C,M,Y,K, LC,LM) will yield 469 sq. metres or 5048 sq.ft. The yields are significantly reduced if printing in 720-dpi mode continuously.

• A small amount of ink is left in the bottom of each ink cartridge. There is extra ink in each of the bottles to compensate for this residue. Do not attempt to pour residue from one bottle into another bottle.
