Chapter4 | Print Media Characteristics |
| Print media characteristics affect print quality and reliability. |
| When you choose print media, consider the following: |
Weight
The printer automatically feeds paper weights from 20 lbs
to 24 Ibs.
Surface Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of the paper affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the ink may not adhere to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality.
Moisture Content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and paper feeding reliability.
Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities.
Using media that does not conform to the specifications listed in the paper specifications can cause problems that require service.
