Question What’s the Best Humidity and Temperature for a UV Printers?

[siphon56]

Hey everyone,

I’ve got a Roland LG UV printer, and I’m working in a pretty dry area where the humidity is sitting around 34% and the temperature is about 25.3°C. I’m a bit concerned that these conditions might not be ideal for the printer, but I’m not exactly sure what the recommended humidity and temperature should be.

Does anyone know what the best settings are for this printer? Also, if the humidity is too low, what kind of humidifier or setup would you suggest to keep things in check? I’d love to hear what’s worked for others in similar situations.

Thanks a lot!

The specs say Humidity: 20 to 80 % . so you are in range . temp (15 to 32 °C)

Try to reach 45-50%. You will have less electrostatic issues.
For humidifiers, if you use a ultrasonic atomizer, use demineralized water.

It's not so much the printer - more the substrate you're printing on.

Humidity to low = Static. Too high = curling and sometimes adhesion issues.

The ink cures with uv light, so environmental issues don't really affect it that much.
