Dear Customer,
As you know, Mutoh Europes core business is outdoor printing and signmaking. A very interesting niche market is digital textile printing. Digital printing can play an important role in the world of textile printing. Thanks to lots of new developments and the technological possibilities of digital printing, (such as increasing output speeds, inks offering wider colour gamuts, new ink formulations to provide durable prints, new coating technologies, etc,) the gap between traditional machinery (e.g. rotary screen printers) and drop on demand inkjet narrows considerably. One application possibility in the field of digital textile printing is heat transfer apparel. Mutohs Viper Digital Transfer Printer are offered in two different models, i.e. 65 (1653 mm) media width and 90 (2280 mm) media width. The Mutohs Viper Digital Transfer Printer are specifically suited to print on transfer paper using water-based disperse dye inks. They incorporates heavy-duty motorized unwinding/winding system for perfect media handling and tracking, 8 drop on demand micro piezo inkjet heads (360 nozzles per colour channel), preheater and dryer and a variable head height from 1.2 mm to 4.0 mm to neutralise media cockling (maximum media thickness 1.1 mm). This manual provides you all required information to set-up and start the Mutoh machine.
Happy printing ! Mutoh Europe N.V.

AP-75171, Rev. 1.2, 21/09/04
1.5 PERFECT MEDIA HANDLING

The Viper Digital Transfer Printer prints on transfer paper with water-based disperse dye inks. An annoying effect of transfer paper when coming into contact with ink is expansion of the media. Notes : The transfer papers with a low g/m, the thinnest, are most sensitive to expanding. This expansion results in media coming up from the print platform between the different pressure rollers.
Therefore, the Viper Digital Transfer Printer has been specially developed to avoid the media cockling to occur and to minimize the print heads to touch the media when minimal media cockling occurs.
1.5.1. Measurements to prevent media cockling

Media cockling is prevented to avoid the print heads to touch the media (protect heads and print result) and to avoid the cockling structure to become apparent in the print result.
1.5.1.1. Unwinder / winder 100

The unwinder / winder 100 system always provides an equal tension on the media when printing. It is important that the unwinder / winder 100 is perfectly lined out to prevent cockling. To line out the unwinder / winder 100, please refer to the users guide Handling Roll Media. Caution : Before installation and alignment of the unwinder / winder 100, please make sure the printer is placed level!
1.5.1.2. Print environment of transfer paper

Environmental Recommended working environment Notes : Please note that some inks require a humidity of more than 50%, other inks can be used at 30% humidity. Please contact your ink supplier for optimum printing conditions. Temperature: 19 - 26 Humidity: 30% to 60%, without condensation
Caution : The size of the recommended media can change at a fixed ratio according to the temperature changes of the working environment. Before using media, place the media roll in the working environment for at least 24 hours, to have it match to the temperature of the working area. Printing before the media could accommodate to the printing environment may cause media jams due to slippage or creases. This also adversely effects the quality of printing.
14
AP-75171, Rev. 1.2, 21/09/04
1.5.1.3. Pre-heating of the transfer paper

The Viper Digital Transfer Printer is equipped with a pre-heater. (Range up to 50C.) Caution : We recommend you to set the pre-heater temperature at 50C. This to be sure that transfer paper is already expanded a little before reaching the pressure rollers.
1.5.1.4. Extra fans

The Viper Digital Transfer Printer is equipped with extra fans to keep the transfer paper flat on the print platform. Caution : We recommend you to select HIGH in the vacuum menu. Only use Low or Medium when using sheet media.
1.5.1.5. Pressure rollers disabler tool

The pressure roller disabler tool allows a pressure roller to be lifted while printing, thus providing the necessary space for media to expand. Caution : When using roll media, we recommend you to use two pressure rollers disabler tools on both side of the media, as well as two on 1/3 and two on 2/3 of the media. It is not necessary to use pressure rollers disabler tools when using sheet media.
1.5.1.6. Media Retainers (holders)

The media cockling causes the transfer paper edges to curl. Media retainers keep the media edges pushed down. Caution : When using roll media, we recommend you to always use the media retainers.
Caution : When using the media retainers, do not use the cut function.
15
AP-75171, Rev. 1.2, 21/09/04

Notes : When using sheet media, media retainers are not necessary used. If used, please make sure the media is loaded correctly straight. Otherwise, media can slant and the media retainers could tear the transfer paper.
1.5.2. Measurements to minimize head touching cockling media

In case of media cockling following tools are available to avoid the print heads to touch the media (protect heads and print result).
1.5.2.1. ETT (patent pending)

The ETT Extra Tension Tool pulls the media in line with the print platform. The tension on the sides is always bigger than in the middle. As a result possible curls are straightened. Notes : Always make sure that the edges of the media are supported by the edges of the ETT. Only use the middle part of the ETT if media with is larger than 51.
1.5.2.2. Head Height

The Viper Digital Transfer Printer can be set at the following head heights : 1.2 mm (LOW), 2.2 mm (MIDDLE) and 4 mm (HIGH). Caution : We recommend you to use the lowest possible head height. This to obtain the best printing quality.
Caution : At all head heights, be sure that the correct media thickness is set!
