Kodak 1200I - Manual (Page 7)

Drying Tips for “Premium” Media
The following recommendations are provided
to give the best drying, which will ensure the
best adhesion with laminates, for swellable
media types on the Kodak 1200i printer
using Qi dyes.
-Use the fans with no heat. Heat may
actually increase dry times.
-Use color profiles that use the least ink,
while still providing good density and color.
Kodak supplies profiles for several printer/
ink combinations at
www.kodak.com/go/
wfiprofiles.
-Rolled prints do not dry completely. Leaving
the prints exposed to air is the only way to
allow them to fully dry.
-In environments that have higher
temperatures and humidity, use additional
fans for increased drying.
-Use slower print speeds. The extra drying
achieved by having the prints exposed to air
before they are wound on the take-up spool
will aid in laminate adhesion. An additional
benefit here is increased image quality.
Lamination
Kodak wide-format inkjet media is tested for
a large variety of laminates with each Kodak
ink type. From pressure-sensitive to heat-
activated and everything in between, our
media will allow you to laminate with most
existing set-ups.
Successful lamination requires that inkjet
media be completely dry to ensure good
adhesion and to avoid unwanted color shifts.
While prints may feel dry to the touch,
components of the ink that prevent good
adhesion or may cause the color to change
may still be present.
