Roland SolJet Pro II Ex Question about print temperature

[PMac]

Hello, What temperature do you Roland folks print at? I've been printing at 40 degrees. It doesn't seem to dry really fast at that temperature. I just got this printer. I love it but I bought it from a guy and I'm having to figure everything out on my own.

I print from 36-42. On certain materials like paper, the inks do not try fast at all. On banner, there's no problem. If you have ink drying problems, it could be profile related.

I put a small 6" fan in front of my take-up when running posters to help dry the ink. Works perfect, and totally make the difference.

Thanks Jack. I don't have a take-up real with mine unfortunately . I've been told I can one aftermarket. I'm not that busy with it right now anyway. I'm still in learning mode. I've toyed with the color profiles a little bit but I'm far from knowing what difference they make are, I really couldn't tell ya. Do they make your printer use less ink? Because that would definitely help with dry time. I've found that photos print really dark and I have to really boost the brightness/contrast adjustments to get it right. Is that normal? Fans are a good idea though.
