Substrate and Media Best Practices For best enhancement results, we recommend the following media practices:

If possible, use Matte Paper, since the glossy visual effect created by the polymer layer is most

impressive when applied to matte substrate.

Use clean, straight and unfolded substrate without earmarks or banding.

Use only single sheets in the substrate pile to prevent paper jams, double-feeds, and misfeed

errors.

If possible, run the Scodix process shortly after printing the image.

Heat emission reaches a maximum of eight kilowatts power during production.

When the site requires an additional air suction pipe above the press (supplied by customer), the

suction inlet should be positioned above the stacker. Requirement: 1000 CFM.

Noise Level

When all service doors and covers on the Scodix Ultra Pro are closed, the operator is exposed to a

maximum of 83 dB of noise (on the non-operator side of the system). The operator is required to wear

ear protection.

Overview

The Scodix Ultra Pro “overprints” onto pre-printed substrate. The term “Image” or “Job” refers to the

polymer image (polymer overprint) job, which will be printed on the pre-printed substrate.

A single-page PDF file, that has only one color separation, is used as the raw image file. The Scodix

Ultra Pro rips the file, and creates an image file for printing the job. The job file specifies the polymer

“image” that will be printed on the pre-printed substrate.

Receiving the PDF Image File A graphic designer uses the original image file to prepare the single-page, single color-separation PDF

file. The press operator then rips this file to create the print job file.

IMPORTANT

The print job file should only consist of the “black” image (polymer), and “white” background (non-polymer). Besides black and white, there should be no gray or any other colors.

Note: Transfer working point—to achieve good transfer quality, you must find the best

working point suitable for the specific foil and media. The main parameters responsible for

the transfer quality are the power of the Activate UV lamp and of the LED—both controlled

from the job ticket.

• Selective Foil:

For foil saving, click Selective Foil. The rip process recognizes the area and elements of the file

that require foiling.

Note: Before clicking Selective Foil, you must rip the file.

3. Set the usage of the Pin (LED UV):

The LED UV option cures the polymer after print, fixing the polymer and preventing spreading.

This results in accurate, sharp edges on the CMYK graphic. The LED UV is an essential feature for

the foil.

Select Auto. When Auto is selected, the LED UV is on for PolySense 500 or 300, and is off for

PolySense 100 and Spot 80.

4. Adjust the working point:

For a new media and foil, start with the following UV power setup:

LED UV = 20%.

Activate UV = 40%.

If the foil transfer is not satisfactory:

One-Color Media

Increase the Activate UV power by 5% (to 45%).

With 45% UV power, if the foil transfer is better but still not good enough, keep changing and

increase the value by 3% until you get best results (increasing/decreasing the UV power by 1%

may affect the result as well).

With 45% UV power, if the foil transfer is worse than with 40%, lower the UV power to 35%

and try again.

With 35% UV power, if the foil transfer is better but still not good enough, keep changing and

decrease by 3% until you get best results (increasing/decreasing the UV power by 1% may

affect the result as well).

Two-Color (Black and White) Media

If white areas show good results while black areas show bad results, increase the UV power.

If white areas show bad results while black areas show good results, decrease the UV power.



Loading the Substrate This section describes how to load pre-printed substrate into the Scodix Ultra Pro Feeder.

1. Inspect the pre-printed substrate before loading to ensure that:

The substrate is not bent or folded.

No lamination sheets are hanging over the sides of the substrate.

sheets of the substrate stack.

(This can also serve as a test, to verify the correct air pressure to the feeder, and that the paper

touches the top of the metal separator tongues.)

WARNING!

Do not attempt to remove papers from the substrate stack during printing. If you need to remove the pre-printed substrate from the feeder, do so while the press is not printing. Click the Down button on the feeder to lower the Feeder Table, and remove substrate.



Preparing the Stacker After you have printed a proof and before starting the actual printing process, adjust the Scodix Ultra

Pro stacker to stack the sheets neatly, as described below.

Stacker Components

The following shows the components of the Scodix Ultra Pro stacker:

Preparing the Stacker Procedure

1. Release the two Front Guide Lockers, and pull Front Guide open, towards you.

2. Raise the Stacker Table by pressing the Up button. The Stacker Table automatically stops when it

reaches the top position.

3. Release the two Side-rail Lockers, and open the Side-rails outwards.

4. Print the proof sheets (4 sheets) so that they fall into the center of the Stacker Table.

5. Adjust the Side-rails until they almost touch the pre-printed substrate, (a few millimeters on each

side).

6. Lock the Side-rails into position using the Side-rail Lockers.

7. To reposition the Left Side-rail (Clap plate), do the following:

a. Release the Left Side-rail Locker, and move the Left Side-rail (Clap plate) about 5 cm to the left

of the substrate.

b. Press and hold the Manual Clap button while moving the Left Side-rail (Clap plate) to the right

until it touches the substrate.

c. Lock the Left Side-rail Locker.

d. Release the Manual Clap button.

The Stacker moves the Left Side-rail (Clap plate) to the left, and then returns it to its position,

a few millimeters from the substrate. (This action is a slow simulating a “Clap”.)

8. Push the Front Guide towards the substrate, and lock it using the two Front Guide Lockers.



Printing a Proof Printing a proof before actually printing a job is highly recommended. The proof is a ”Reality check” of

the Job Properties and image scaling, on the pre-printed substrate.

You may be satisfied with the first proof, or you may need to make some adjustments and try again.

1. Print about four pages of the print job as described in “Printing a Job” on page 59.

If the proof achieves the desired results, then continue printing the entire job (skip the rest of the

steps in this section).

2. If the proof did not achieve the desired results, then adjust the Job Properties as follows:

a. Click the Edit Selected Job button in the Job Queue (or double-click the job), to display

the Job Properties window, as described in “Editing the Job Properties” on page 45.

b. Make the appropriate adjustments, and print another proof.

c. If this proof achieves the desired results, then continue printing the entire job, (skip the rest

of the steps in this section).

d. If the proof still did not achieve the desired results, re-calibrate the OPA camera positions as

described in OPA Calibration on page 67.

e. Print another proof.

Printing a Job Printing a proof before printing the job is highly recommended. See “Printing a Proof“ on page 59.

1. Open the Main window of the press software.

2. In the in the Queue tab, only the job at the top of the Job Queue can be printed. Move the job

that you want to print to the top of the Job Queue using the Move Job to Top button.

NOTE:

The Print button is activated only when the job at the top of the Job Queue is selected.

3. Select the job at the top of the list, and click the Print button.

NOTE:

While a job is printing, you cannot view its Job Properties window.

If Activate OPA is selected for this job, and you can pre-adjust the positions of the OPA

cameras. The OPA Pre Adjustment window is displayed, allowing you to adjust the positions of

the OPA cameras, so that the “+” is close to the middle of the pre-printed OPA dots.

Use the Left, Right, Up, and Down buttons to position the “+” close to the middle of the dots.

NOTE:

To activate or deactivate the OPA feature for a job, in the Job Queue, double-click the job, and select or deselect the Activate OPA checkbox in the Job Properties window, as described in “Editing the Job Properties” on page 45.

If Automatic OPA is selected for this job, the OPA Pre Adjustment window is displayed, the

cameras positioning is performed automatically, and the print starts.

Routine Procedures Perform the following procedures when necessary, or periodically, as described below.

Adjusting the Feeder Capacity Sensor

The capacity sensor detects if there is paper in the feeder.

The following procedure describes how to adjust the height of the sensor to the height of the top

sheet in the pile.

1. Fill the feeder with the pre-printed substrate.

2. Adjust the knob to lift or lower the capacity sensor.

3. When the yellow light turns on, the capacity sensor has detected the top sheet of the pile.

Figure 35: Feeder capacity sensor adjustment



Filling the Ink (Polymer) Tank

Overview

Only Scodix PolySENSE™ Polymer supplied by Scodix can be used in the Scodix Ultra Pro.

The Ink Tank Levels are displayed on the left of the Main window.

Keep the polymer level above 2 kg, because the press automatically stops printing when the

polymer level reaches 1 kg. The tank can hold 10 kg.

The Ink Tank can be filled while the press is printing.

If polymer level gets too low, the press stops printing, and displays a request to refill the Ink Tank.

Refill the tank and continue printing.

Check the Ink Tank level every morning, and refill if required.

The polymer is available in one container size only.



Filling the Tank


The Scodix Ultra Pro uses Scodix PolySENSE™ Polymer:

Use gloves and safety goggles when handling the polymer.

This polymer may cause eye and skin irritation after prolonged or repeated contact.

1. Open the door under the UV station, and pour the polymer into the ink tank through the grid, until

you see it rising slightly over the bottom of the grid.

Figure 36: Under the UV station - Filling the polymer tank

2. If there is polymer left in the container, close the cap.


Do not drink or inhale the polymer.

Do not re-use the polymer container for any other purpose.

Emptying and Disposing of Waste

Adhere to all local, regional, and national regulations concerning waste disposal. All polymer waste

should be sent for waste disposal.

1. Open the door under the UV station, and remove the waste container.

2. Waste should be disposed of as follows:

Polymer waste and unused polymer:

Drain the waste into a transparent PE container, and expose it to direct sunlight

for at least 24 hours, until the polymer becomes cured solid.

The container with the cured polymer can be disposed of with general waste.

Containers and packaging: Empty containers should be taken for waste disposal.



Cleaning the Printing Tables

Clean the polymer from the Printing tables, using alcohol, IPA, and lint-free wipes.

Calibration Procedures Perform the following procedure to re-calibrate a component of the press.

Figure 37: OPA Calibration panel

OPA Calibration

The following procedure describes how to calibrate the OPA camera positions.

This procedure can be repeated many times until the results are satisfactory.

1. Print four pages, using pre-printed pages with OPA marks.

2. Select one page printed on the Front Table, and one page printed on the Rear Table.

3. For these two pages, measure the Polymer Blob Offset for each of the four OPA cameras, as

described in Measuring the Polymer Blob Offset for OPA Cameras on page 73.



4. Record the results in a table similar to the table shown in Figure 38, and then type them into the
