Here is a video on how to setup the dryer temperatures in each channel and standard electrical hook-up.

In order to determine your dryer settings and get the temperatures dialed in correctly, you can run a series of (5) tests for (5) different temps.

Here is a link to a finished Leader PRN file that will follow the main graphic test.

( Just open it in the Well print software, it is already ripped and a finished file)

The file is created as a feed through leader file, it basically will print the color bars continuously so that our good test image can make its way all the way through the dryer, via the head and printer timing cycle, with no user input.

In other words, you will print a test image 1st, of your choosing then print this leader file right behind it.( Small or NO Delay if possible).

This will then advance the film through the dryer enough to have our test print be dried and timed properly.

Keep in mind, every time you change the temperature setting, allow 15 minutes for the dryer to properly get up to the new temperature setting.

Test # 1 : Change Temp in each channel to 75 degree's
