Color Deadband Alignment (for 630/700
Series)
The color deadband alignments are necessary to ensure that the output
images are being produced with the highest quality standards available
while using the ENCAD printer in a bidirectional mode.
These adjustments help to compensate for any deviations that may have
become apparent due to the carriage speed and/or the type of media
loaded. Precise calculations are being performed to time the release of
the ink drop so that they land on the media at the correct location.
Differences in media thickness make the distance that the ink has to
fall vary and this variable needs to be compensated for in the calcula-
tions.
