Jet Check Evaluation Criteria
There are three criteria in which to evaluate the Jet Check Test Print. A fail in any of the three criteria results in a fail for the Jet Check and will require the procedure to be repeated or the printer to be serviced.
Evaluation Criterion 1 of 3: What is the total count of gaps in the part and/or support material side of the print?
Part Material Pass: If there are 5 or less gaps in the part material side of the print
Support Material Pass: If there are 10 or less gaps in the support material side of the print
If both the part and support material pass, proceed to the second evaluation.
Evaluation Criterion 2 of 3: Are there 5 lines between the gaps in the same row of part or support material?
If all gaps within a single row have 5 lines or more between them, proceed to the third evaluation.
Evaluation Criterion 3 of 3: Are there at least 2 lines between a gap in a row above or below?
When performing this evaluation, only compare rows of part material to other rows of part material and only compare rows of support material to other rows of support material.
