Print Modes Available
• High Key mode is the fastest available print mode in the Arizona 6100 XTHF Mark II series
series. It is best suited for the production of images characterized by lower density and limited
contrast.
• Express mode provides fast printing but image quality depends on all nozzles jetting ink. It is
best with images that do not have large areas of solid color or high saturation.
• Production mode allows a wide variety of printing output. As with high-speed modes on any
inkjet printer, there is insufficient nozzle redundancy to produce flawless images all the time on
all media. As a result, it may be necessary to print some output in Quality Mode.
• Production Plus mode has the same features as the Production mode but offers a better image
quality in uniform and smooth colour areas.
• Production-Matte mode offers identical nominal productivity as standard Quality mode, but
may allow the printing of an image/media combination that would otherwise have been
rejected due to gloss artifacts that can occur in areas or dark color and/or heavy ink coverage
with Production or Quality modes. It also has the potential to produce more difficult work at
higher average print speeds and has the advantage of being applied instantly (at the printer)
when the operator deems it necessary without reprocessing the data. Most importantly, it
offers a print mode for highly saturated images at the relatively high productivity of 72 square
meters per hour. Production-Matte print mode is interchangeable with Production at the printer
user interface. In other words, if a print job has been prepared in Production mode, it can be
switched to Production-Matte mode at the printer user interface without re-processing in the
workflow software.
• Quality provides excellent image quality and is suitable for a wide range of image types and
looks good with most media.
• Quality Plus mode offers, in addition to the Quality mode, superb quality in uniform and
smooth colour areas.
• Quality-Density doubles the density for backlit media. For flatbed media that may warp or
move slightly from the heat of the lamps, this mode provides better image registration than
Overprint because it is done in one gantry pass.
• Quality-Smooth mode is a slower version of Quality mode that features unusually high nozzle-
redundancy. Although not an excuse for poor maintenance practices, this print mode allows
most technically difficult images to be printed successfully, even if the printer is in less than
optimal printing condition. It is a slower version of Quality mode that features unusually high
nozzle-redundancy.
• Quality Matte is very effective in reducing or eliminating the gloss (curing) artifact that appears
in dark areas of heavy ink coverage when printing in Quality mode. This new mode yields
almost 40% more productivity than Quality-Smooth mode, which was used previously to
reduce gloss banding. Quality-Matte print mode is interchangeable with all other Quality print
modes at the printer user interface. In other words, if a print job has been prepared in Quality
mode, it can be switched to Quality-Matte, Quality-Smooth or Quality-Density mode at the
printer user interface without re-processing in the ONYX® workflow software.
• Quality-Layered (2 or 3 layers) allows you to place multiple layers in one print job. It is most
useful when printing with White Ink (see
You must configure any extra layers in the ONYX software.
68 Chapter 3 - How to Navigate the User Interface
• Copies - use the mouse to increase or decrease.
• Origin - allows selection of either Origin A, Origin B, or Dual Origin
• Mirror Image - Allows you to reverse the horizontal orientation.
• Media - Media profile that was selected in the ONYX workflow software.
• Notes - Appears only if a note was specified for the job. Notes are entered
in the ONYX software.
