Recommendations for best results

Preparation

∙Dust with a lint-free cloth to remove any dust and handle with gloves to avoid fingerprints on the edge of this media. Although it is not always visible, oils from fingers may mar the surface and thus affect image quality.

∙Make sure all edges are flat - facing material can 'lift' off of foam on edges which can lead to head strikes. Substrate is susceptible to dents and it damages easier than most media types.

∙Do not attempt to 'twist' the media while loaded as this can lead to damage by the engaged pinch rollers.

Printing

∙In general all modes should print acceptably.

∙Images with high ink saturation and slow print speeds may require print delays. This media is sensitive to high heat and will bow, so use the low lamp setting when possible. Slower print speeds tend to deliver more heat into the media - introduce print delays or use faster print speeds to minimize/avoid bowing due to heat while printing.

∙This media holds moisture, so when heated it is prone to warping, which can reduce the effectiveness of the belt vacuum. Use the pre-defined vacuum setting on the printer and increase if necessary.

Output Handling

∙You can usually recover from heat warp by laying this media flat and allowing it to cool.

∙Always use a very sharp blade when trimming.

∙Substrate is susceptible to dents and it damages more easily than most media types.
