[2] While the components of the ADA signage produced on Direct Jet UV LED printers have tested to be in compliance with federal USA ADA signage guidelines outlined in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, it is the responsibility of the signage manufacturer to ensure compliance with the governing local, state and federal authorities. ADA/Braille option is not available on F4 Editions.

[3] When utilizing the Y-axis Heavy-Duty Direct Drive Module.

Standard machines are calibrated for IR2 inks. F4 Editions are calibrated for IRF4 inks. To prevent contamination of the ink system, operators of the machine must only use the compatible ink specified for each machine. Failure to do so will harm the machine and void the warranty.

Specifications are subject to change without notice. Competitor data collected from published literature and/or electronic sites of manufacturer and authorized distributors as of 10/15/13. DCS recommends that individuals verify data on all printers with the manufacturer of each model for accuracy prior to making any purchasing decision.

 

UV LED Light Caution: You are dealing with an LED UV light source that may harm your health. Do not look directly into the UV light source or expose your hand or any part of your body/skin directly to the UV LED light source.

UV Ink Caution: LED UV inks contain mild skin irritants in their liquid form. Always wear safety goggles and gloves when handling the liquid LED UV ink. There may be some VOCs emitted from the uncured inks during and after the printing process that could slightly irritate the nose, eyes and throat. If the printer is running in a small confined area, the VOCs could build up and increase the irritation. DCS strongly recommends that the printer be operated in a well ventilated area to keep the VOCs to a minimum.
