11 .3 MANAGING VOCS Ventilation requirements for Océ CS960 using Bio-lactite, Low solvent Ultra or Eco Solvent inks The Océ CS960 can make use of three types of ink: IJC940 Océ Bio-Lactite Ink IJC935 Océ LS Ultra Ink Océ IJC930 Eco Solvent ink All three inks contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The concentration of VOCs in the print room during operation of the Océ CS960 depends on multiple factors: room volume, ventilation rate, print speed, number of prints, print mode, number of printers in the room, heater settings, kind of media, etc. In order to avoid any health risk related to VOCs and to ensure a safe work environment, Océ advises to use these inks only in a well ventilated area. The user needs to take all necessary precautions in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations. For each ink a specific recommendation is prepared for use in an Océ 960 (see table ). Table : Ventilation requirements for use of Océ CS960 Type of Ink APS used (*) Ink IJC940 Océ Bio-Lactite Yes, recommended Minimum room volume No 300 m IJC935 Océ LS Ultra Ink Yes, required 50 m Océ IJC930 Eco Solvent ink Yes, optional 50 m No 300 m Required ventilation rate 3 Additional local exhaust 50 m ventilation 3 Room ventilation, 5 times per hour 3 Additional local exhaust ventilation 3 Additional local exhaust ventilation 3 Room ventilation, 3 times per hour (*) Use an Air Purification System (APS) with an active carbon filter (Filter 05). Hourly ventilated volume 300 m 3 /h 500 m 3 /h 300 m 3 /h 50 m 3 /h 900 m 3 /h The recommended room ventilation must be applied in case the printer is used at nominal printing speed (5 m 2 /h) at daily print volumes of 45 m 2 /day (3 times average intended use). In case of more intensive use of the printer, the ventilated volume must be increased accordingly. The required hourly ventilated volume is independent of the room volume. In case the Océ CS960 is placed in a larger room, the ventilation rate may be lowered accordingly, as long as the hourly ventilated volume is equal to or larger than indicated in table. The (hourly) ventilated volume is required for each Océ CS960 that is installed in the room. In case multiple machines are installed, either the room volume or the room ventilation has to be increased accordingly The total ventilated volume may be either a general room ventilation or a combination of a lower general room ventilation with additional extra local exhaust ventilation. The concentration of VOCs will be higher in the vicinity of the equipment. Part of the VOCs will be originating from the printed matter. To ensure no nuisance will occur, Océ advises to always use additional local exhaust ventilation directly above the heated media guide platen, even when an APS is used..3.

Smoother images WAVE stitching keeps the bleed between passes under control and makes colour banding less obvious. Small misalignments of the heads are becoming less critical. Misfiring/missing nozzles are less visible in the output. 2. Image printability Images are easier to print with less signs of banding/bleeding. Some images can be printed at higher speeds, without quality loss. Some difficult images become printable at faster speeds. Especially sign-images have a much smoother surface. 3. CS960 = easier to use The step-adjust is becoming less critical, making it a lot easier for the user to have good quality outputs. 4. Gamut Boost Because of the previous benefits, we clearly see a colour gamut boost by using the Intelligent Interweaving technique in combination with dedicated profiles. 5. Application Compatibility Thanks to WAVE stitching, it is possible to reach predictable output results. 80 AP Rev /08/20,
