3. How MYJET Enhances Print Quality and Results

(A) Optimizing Printing Materials

Choosing the right printing materials is crucial for improving print quality. Different applications require materials with specific characteristics. For example, outdoor advertising requires weather-resistant materials that can withstand UV rays, rain, and other natural elements, ensuring that the image does not fade or distort over time. In interior decoration, material sustainability and texture become more important. Additionally, the surface flatness and ink absorbency of the material can affect print quality, so materials must be matched to the printer's features and printing requirements.

(B) Color Management
Color management is a critical part of large-format digital printing. First, an accurate color profile must be established so the printer can faithfully reproduce the colors in the design. This requires the use of professional color calibration equipment and software to calibrate the printer, monitor, and other devices. During printing, attention must be paid to the mixing ratio and printing order of different ink colors to avoid color deviation. Additionally, for specific color requirements such as Pantone colors, specialized color conversion technology can be used to achieve precise printing.

(C) Printhead Maintenance and Calibration
The printhead is the core component of a large-format digital printer, and its condition directly impacts print quality. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the printhead are essential to prevent clogging. When installing the printhead, ensure precise installation and calibration, so the printhead can evenly spray ink during printing. Also, based on the printhead's lifespan, it is important to replace aging printheads in a timely manner to maintain consistent print quality.

(D) Print Software Optimization
Advanced printing software can preprocess images to improve print results. The software can automatically adjust parameters such as resolution, contrast, and brightness to match the printer's output capabilities. For large printing tasks, the software can also divide the print job into sections, ensuring precise alignment between parts, so the entire printed piece appears seamless.
