Issue Description

After printing, burrs or ink bleeding may appear around the edges of printed patterns on certain materials, especially wood surfaces.

Because xTool M2 CMYK Inkjet Module uses water-based dye ink, different materials absorb ink differently. On wood materials, excessive ink density may cause the ink to spread along the wood fibers, resulting in fuzzy or feathered edges.

Possible Causes

• The material surface absorbs ink too easily.
• The material surface is uncoated, allowing the ink to spread through the fibers.
• The ink density setting in xTool software is too high for the selected material.

Troubleshooting Procedure

1. Apply a coating to the material surface to reduce ink absorption and improve edge sharpness.
2. Lower the ink density setting to reduce the amount of ink sprayed during printing.

3. Use the recommended density settings for the material:

1. • For most paper materials, a density setting of 100% is recommended.
   • When Basswood is selected in xTool software as the processing material, the recommended density setting is applied automatically.
   • For materials without recommended parameters, manually adjust the density setting to achieve the desired print quality.
