Calibrating Print Heads

The condition of the print heads directly affects the quality of printed models. To maintain optimum printing, you should test the print heads and calibrate them to the best working configuration possible every 300 hours of printing. You should also calibrate print heads—

•

whenever you suspect that the condition of print heads is negatively affecting the quality of printed models

•

if there is a problem with one or more of the print heads

•

after replacing a print head

To perform the calibration procedure, use the external Head Calibration Utility. You can download this application and related documentation from the Stratasys Support Center.
