Wood Print

Description

Pictorem is using UV Printing technique on Birch Wood.

Print Technology & Process

Printed by UV Cured ink and 6 print heads with 3 staggered configuration at 1200dpi configuration. 2 units of unique highly-accurate linear scales controlled by IMS have been equipped, for fine step accuracy and dot placement. This results in far less banding artifacts and even the possibility to print legible 2 pt characters. * Characters may be illegible depending on the media. (IMS = Intelligent Microstepping System) Pictorem implements printing with generating passes, using a gradational mask pattern, the UV curing is performed more gradually and it diminishes the appearance of bandings.

Printing Resolution

Pictorem prints at 1200 x 1200 optimized dpi Variable drops function provides 3 different drop sizes at once. The minimum size is amazingly 4 pico-litter drop and produces smooth and natural gradation

Ink

UV Ink The color components of the ink are directly cured and adhered to the media or substrate by UV radiation, and the ink emits very low levels of VOC (volatile organic carbon).
The LED (light-emitting diode) light does not radiate short wavelengths that generate ozone. Use of Mimaki UV-curable ink demonstrates consciousness about the environment and the health of users.

Media Used

Pictorem is using a birch wood, a multi-layer plywood which is sometimes also called Baltic Birch. It includes more sheets (or layers) and it is also thinner than traditional plywood. The multi-layer plywood is made entirely of hardwood. These quality manufacturing characteristics give it strong rigidity and excellent stability for being hung on walls. Birch is a material most appropriate to producing furniture, shelves, jigs, and all kinds of items that require intensive use. Birch plywood is therefore of superior quality and is much more rigid than traditional plywood which is usually composed of softwood leaves (such as spruce, poplar, pine or fir).

low-VOC ink and ozone-free LED–UV light

Use, Care & maintenance

Always use a very soft microfiber or damp cloth.
Does not require a special cleaner and any non-ammonia cleaner such as Windex can be used
