Printer Heater Settings?

[Bill72]

We got a new OKI (Seiko) Color Painter M-64 a couple months ago, still playing around and dialing it in. This printer has 3 heaters a preheater to heat the media before print, a print heater, and an after print heater for drying. No where can I find recommended settings for what temp I should set these too. Our sales "rep" who set it up and did the "training" was.....worthless, to put it nicely. The manual only says heating settings must be set to correct temp but offers no guidelines. Anybody have any help for me? If not for this printer any general guidelines for heat settings.

Also i should mention I print mostly on wrap vinyl....3M IJ180, Arlon SLX supercast, Avery Dennison 1105SC, some light weight banner and canvas.

As hot as you can get without the media buckling is my general rule of thumb. Media will always buckle when just sitting on the heater so make sure you are running prints while you use trial and error to get the perfect settings. Each materiel will be different. In geenral I crank the post heater up 100% as it does not affect the buckling and it helps the ink dry faster.
