Fluctuations in temperature and humidity can cause colours to change dramatically, and therefore it is important to stabilise these in the room where your digital printer is installed. We recommend you install air conditioning and maintain a constant temperature recommended by the manufacturer. By doing this, and by monitoring the environment samples were printed in, you should be able to reproduce colours with relative ease at a later date.
Environmental monitoring
To switch on environmental monitoring in the AVA Digital Print Rip, go to Printer > Environmental monitoring…
The following window will appear;
- Tick Monitor Environment
- Select the sensor from the popup menu
- Click OK
The temperature will now be logged in the printer settings window;
We recommend you make a note of these on the physical prints and in your spreadsheet if you keep one.
