Recommendations for best results

Preparation

Peel the protective film off one side; place this side up on table. If firmly affixed to media, adhesive based protective films can be left on the backside while printing. Print on the side without lettering or graphics on the protective film to avoid transfer effect from printed areas. This type of film creates less static when removed.

Ensure that the ionizer is power on and functioning.

Apply isopropyl alcohol greater than 90% and wipe down each sheet prior to printing for additional static control.

Wipe with an anti-static cloth or device to remove static charge and possible cutting remnants.

Ensure that media tables are attached and secured to the printer to provide a grounding path for static loaded material.

Printing

These materials are heavy in larger sizes. Do not exceed the maximum weight specifications for the printer. Flatness, size, smoothness, and weight will affect the consistency of media feed through the printer.

Depending on end-use application, ink adhesion may be an issue. To minimize this issue, clean the media as directed and use a color profile that has low ink saturation.

Ink saturation and curing are best in Production or High Quality modes

Use Low or Medium lamp setting depending on number of hours on lamps and curing efficiency.

These materials usually are heavy enough to lie flat without belt vacuum

The media may expand and contract during printing. If possible use material with known good thermal expansion characteristics.

Use Backlit or a generic color profile, depending on application.

Output Handling

Handle with clean cotton gloves to avoid fingerprints

Use care when lifting sheets off table, as the media may be scratched
