How to Handle Media
Media Storage Recommendations
See material-specific documentation for recommended handling and storage
requirements. General material storage and handling suggestions follow:
Store media in a dry environment avoiding high temperature, high humidity, or
direct sunlight. The size of the material can change according to the temperature
and/or humidity changes of the working environment. Ideally, store media in the
same environmental conditions as it will be used.
Store media flat to reduce tendency to bow. Do not use creased, damaged, torn,
curled, or warped material.
Do not leave material loaded in the printer for an extended period of time. The
material may curl resulting in misalignment, jams, or decreased printing quality.
Material has a printable side and a non-printable side. If you print on a
non-printable side, blurring may occur.
Handle media with lint-free gloves. Oil deposits from fingers will degrade print
quality. Do not touch the printable side of material.
Ensure the media is free of any debris before you print. If necessary, use the
recommended clean-room cloth wipe (0505-0283 Cloth Poly-Wipe) and
isoprophyl alcohol.
Carriage Collision Recovery
If something on the table is higher than the media (or if the media is thicker than what
is actually set in the print job settings), a carriage collision may occur. If a collision
occurs, the carriage will stop and display a message on the User Interface panel.
After the operator clears the offending media from the table and before the next print
is started, printhead maintenance must be performed
on page 100).
Media Adhesion
If you are having a difficult problem with ink adhesion on a particular media, UV
Adhesion Master 720 is a pre-treatment solution that can be used to clean and treat
media surfaces to promote good adhesion. It is particularly useful when printing on
objects of unknown composition and for use in industrial applications. It is not
available in all countries due to substance/transport restrictions.
