A Note about Print Quality

The W660/W680 is designed to feed and print on a range of materials with various finishes and coatings. However, the sharpness of the print may vary with different materials, depend- ing on how absorbent the surface is, as well as other qualities.

You'll get best results using white wove bonded stock. Printing is less sharp on Tyvek, recycled and glossy material. It is also possible that ink may not dry thoroughly on certain very glossy materials. Always test high gloss materials for their drying qualities before you buy them in quantity and attempt to run a print job.
