Considerations

∙C-size flutes or smaller sizes perform best

∙Certain coated sheets may cause ink to pool and cure unevenly, yielding a poor image quality print. Be sure to test coated materials for compatibility before purchasing significant quantities.

∙Supported ( ) print modes and resolutions:

1200x600			600x600				600x300

Recommendations for best results

Preparation

∙Clean with a lint-free cloth to remove any dust and handle with gloves to avoid fingerprints on the edge of the media. Although not always visible, oils from your fingers may still mar surface and affect image quality. Since the material creases easily watch for edges that may strike the carriage.

∙Larger flute sizes on corrugated stock can inhibit media feed. Only C flutes and smaller sizes are recommended.

Printing

∙Depending on ink coverage and image content, all modes may print acceptably. Solid colors look best in High Quality Mode or 600x600.

∙UV Lamps: Use the low UV lamp power setting.

∙Depending on thickness vacuum may need to be increased or decreased, a setting of 5 is a good balance allowing for good feed and preventing puckering of the material.

∙Select UV Photobase or equivalent color profiles

Output Handling

∙If tape is necessary, use low-tack tape that is easy to remove. Pull it off slowly to avoid removing the top layer of coated paper. Again, this media creases easily, especially in printed areas, as ink increases stiffness. Take care when lifting it off table to avoid creases.
