Process

Thanks Joe.

I think I have worked it out. Simple really but couldn’t get my head round it.

Dry ink is released in this order;

Overlay Y M C K Underlay

Then it sits on transfer belt but when gets to paper the order is

Underlay K C M Y Overlay

The fused to paper.

Pretty cool

I've been off for a few days unexpectedly, I just got back and have sent out some messages to some people in the field this printer is in, it is way out of my wheelhouse and I don't want to give false information here.

Hopefully I will get an answer by monday, if I don't post by mid next week post again, I will get a notification and will dig deeper.

Any input joe?

Sorry! Now after more searching I realize I am in a wrong.

[GabiE-Xerox]

From the left to the right developer module are dispose in order: overlay (clear, gold, silver), yellow, magenta, cyan, black, underlay (gold, silver). This is what I know.

[JoeDaft]

What am I missing?

The stations are L-R as follows

Underlay Black C M Y overlay

The printing goes right to left so why is the overlay laid down first?

[GabiE-Xerox]

It is the last. The printing process begin with 6th developer station, which is located on the right side of the machine.

[JoeDaft]

This is what is confusing me? Why does it lay the clear overlay first? I thought it would be last

[GabiE-Xerox]

Yes from right to left:6 unit Gold or Silver, 5 Black, 4 Cyan, 3 Magenta, 2 Yellow, 1st Clear or Gold or Silver.

[JoeDaft]

I understand. But from the way the belt moves I would assume it goes right to left in order of printing?
