How to effectively reduce ink consumption of UV roll printer?

UV printers are commonly used UV printing equipment in the advertising industry. There are several methods on how to effectively reduce the ink consumption of UV printers:

1. Learn to choose ink. Generally, do not use non-original ink tanks easily, because most ink tanks contain sponges. The sponges of non-original ink tanks have more dissolved substances, and the stainless steel filter used in the ink outlet does not meet the requirements, which can easily cause the nozzle to be clogged.
2. Solve the color cast phenomenon. If the color printed by your UV roll to roll printer is inconsistent with the color displayed on the screen, it means there is a color cast in the printing process. I would like to remind everyone that the main reason for this phenomenon is improper software settings, or it is caused by the printer driver version being too low, or each user has made some inappropriate settings in the printing software settings. If the above fault causes are eliminated, we should learn to correct the screen display and actual printing effect. Different printing software has different specific correction methods. It is recommended that when printing is normal, you should open the printer option of the commonly used software and record the settings at this time; if there is any fault in the future, you do not need to bother to analyze it reason, the problem can be solved by easily restoring to the previous settings.
3. Do not start the UV roll to roll printer frequently. The UV roll to roll printer is different from other printers. It is best not to start it frequently, because every time it is started, the printer must clean the print head, initialize the printer, and fill the ink delivery system with ink. Of course, some ink will be wasted. This is "A drop of ink costs a penny"! In addition, if you press and hold the resume button on the top for more than 2 seconds, the printer will also clean the print head. Therefore, if the printer is out of paper, press the resume button quickly after loading the paper, no longer than 2 seconds.
4. Select the appropriate printing mode. UV roll to roll printer provides several printing modes, and different printing modes consume ink to different extents. If you are just printing ordinary documents, it is recommended to use the "Economic Print Mode" function. Using this mode can save half of the ink and greatly increase the printing speed. Of course, if you want to pursue print quality, you can only choose other printing modes.
5. When using the ink cartridge for the first time, the UV machine should be set to the saving state. The number of prints that can be printed on the Ink tank is variable. It mainly depends on the print type you set when you first use it. If the ink tank is set to photo mode when you first install it, and you only print a few photos, the program will often be too long. Calculate some ink usage; if it is set to the saving state from the beginning, the program may underestimate the ink usage and display that there is still ink remaining when the ink has actually been exhausted.
