Rigid Media

One advantage of flatbed printers over platen printers is that the media drive system provides for a more consistent advance rate. With the belt-fed system there is little need to perform media feed calibrations when switching between media types or sizes. Printers that utilize a pinch roller/grit roller drive mechanism are more sensitive to changes in size or weight, so media feed calibrations are required when switching between media types.

Some media may be used only up to certain sizes or with certain print modes. For all media types and sizes, sheet weight should not exceed the published specification for the printer of 125 lbs. (56.7 kg).

For materials between 50-250 lbs. (22-113 kg), choose Heavy when selecting weight in the Media Wizard when to set the media belt drive motor and media advance interval.

Speed (print mode) limitations may be due either to weight restrictions, as the larger advance motions do not work as well with the heavier weight materials and sizes, or because certain materials may deform when subjected to sustained heat of the slower print modes.

Media tables should be level and coplanar to the flat surface of the media belt, appropriately and firmly latched to the printer with the rollers oriented in such a fashion that they are in line with the print direction. For printing on rigid media sheets greater than 12 feet (3.66 m) in length, a secondary set of media tables should be attached to reduce the risk of headstrike damage.

For media with signs of warping or bowing that the vacuum table is unable to reduce, the hold down rollers should be employed in conjunction with Warped Media Mode to reduce the risk of headstrike damage.

Media size may impact results and certain sizes of media may not work as well with certain print modes. The following table summarizes the maximum supported sizes per media type and points out which media is likely to be inconsistent with certain print modes. Details can be found in the referred page.
