The press uses binary image development (BID) in the image generation process. The press builds ink inside the BID and transfers the ink to the image areas on the PIP. The excess ink flows back into the
BID and out to the ink tank. Each BID participates in the generation of a different separation, although
the units are identical.
Replace the BID when:
-
Image quality deteriorates
-
Change of ink color is required
Adjust the BID engage and disengage angles when:
-
A full printed image is not obtained on the leading edge or the trailing edge.
-
A single inkless patch appears in the 25 mm (1 inch) strip of the image's leading edge.
The seven BID stations are numbered from 1 to 7.
