Frequently asked questions

This error indicates a failure in the media heaters, which are not reaching the required temperature to dry the ink.

No, it is not recommended, as the ink will not cure properly, causing smudging and potential printhead damage.

Original solvent inks require exact temperatures; using third-party consumables may interfere with thermal drying settings.

Ensure the printer is installed in a room with a controlled temperature between 15°C and 30°C.
