AP-40780 - Revision 1.0 11

Safety instructions
1.2 Managing VOC’s

During the operation of the Océ CS9050 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will release
originating from the Eco-solvent ink. In order to avoid any health risk the user needs to take all
necessary precautions in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations.
Océ recommends a minimum ventilation of 150 m3/hr. This means that for a Océ CS9050
installed in a room with a volume of 50 m3, a ventilation rate of at least 3 times per hour is
necessary i.e. the room volume of 50 m3 has to be refreshed three times per hour. The
recommended ventilation should be applied in case the printer is used at nominal printing
speed (7m2/h) at daily print volumes of 21 m2/day (3 times the average intended use). In
case of more intensive use of the printer, the ventilation frequency should be increased
accordingly.

Safety instructions
1.3 Handling inks + waste

Before handling inks / cleaning fluids and their waste, please read the Material Safety
1
Data Sheets (MSDS) and the labels for important health, safety and environmental
information carefully. All safety data sheets are periodically updated. These sheets and
their translations can be found on the MSDS CD
Only use original manufacturer’s ink and appropriate cleaning liquid. Before installing an
ink holder, shake it gently. Doing so will preserve print quality.
When ink is moved from a cold place to a warm place, keep the ink for three hours or more
in the new printing environment before printing.
Do not disassemble ink holders. Otherwise, ink may get in your eyes or on your skin. A
disassembled ink holder can not be used either.
When refilling ink, use original manufacturer’s ink. Our Océ printers are designed to use
original ink.
If you use ink which are not produced by the original manufacturer:
z Printing might become blurred and the end of the ink in the holder might not be
detected correctly.
z Any problems caused by using an ink holder other than those recommended above will
not be covered by the warranty, and repair expenses will be paid by the customer.
For handling waste: refer to section 13 on the MSDS-sheet.
Inks / Waste
z General advice: wear safety glasses and gloves especially when handling the waste
ink.
z After spill: remove contaminated clothing.
z After inhalation: if difficulties occur after vapour / aerosol has been inhaled, remove to
fresh air and seek medical attention.

4.6.2 Effect menu
Thanks to the revolutionary Wave stitching technology, it is possible to obtain impeccable

printing quality even for the most dificult images.
Note
Most RIP software also allows controlling the weaving settings directly from
the RIP.
Advantages
Smoother images
“wave stitching technology” keeps the bleed between passes under control and makes colour
banding less obvious. Small misalignments of the heads are becoming less critical. Misfiring/
missing nozzles are less visible in the output.
Image printability
Images are easier to print with less signs of banding/bleeding. Some images can be printed at
higher speeds, without quality loss. Some difficult images become printable at faster speeds.
Especially sign-images have a much smoother surface.
CS9050 = easier to use
The step-adjust is becoming less critical, making it a lot easier for the user to have good
quality outputs.
Gamut boost
Because of the previous benefits, we clearly see a colour gamut boost using the Intelligent
Interweaving technique in combination with dedicated profiles.
Application Compatibility
Thanks to wave stitching technology, it is possible to reach predictable output results.
