General Tips ...
Applies to all Types of Scale Use:
Purchase a quality surge protector for your scale to
avoid damage from electrical surges and spikes.
Leaving the scale plugged-in at the outlet (but turned off) will
keep the circuitry warm and will avoid inaccurate counts or weight due
to "electronic drift".
Counting Tips:
Model HD: If you need to count parent size sheets of paper
(17 x 22" 23 x 35", etc.) you can make an oversized "expansion platter"
from 1/8" or 1/4 masonite board. In a pinch, corrugated cardboard or
foam-core mounting boards will also work fine. QTech also offers two
different commercial grade expansion platters for the HD and QCS models.
Model HC: Although the HC model is not designed for
production counting of oversize sheets, you can also make an expansion
platter out of any suitable material as mentioned above. You will also
need to place a "riser" (an small, empty corrugated box for example) on
the scale platter to lift the false platter high enough to see the
digital readout on the scale console.
Ink
Mixing Tips:
Another suggestion to keep your scale clean during ink
mixing is to drape it with a piece of plastic food wrap. If any
ink drips onto the scale you can clean up quickly by discarding
the wrap when you are finished.
Lexan or safety glass make perfect mixing surfaces when mixing inks.
Have a sheet of 1/8 or 1/4" thick material cut to a size 15 x 15" or so.
By using an oversize piece you will protect the scale from ink drizzle
while still providing a clear view of the keyboard. Just be sure to only
use plastic ink knives...a metal knife might score the Plexiglas or
glass and you may end up with particles in your mix.
