Precautions in handling the fabric
• When using a media other then the following, be sure to perform test printing to confirm the plot result
and then determine whether it can be used or not.
• Do not leave pre-treated fabric media set. Medicant of pre-treatment agent may promote rust of the
grit roller.
• Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-quality printing.
• Set the temperature of the heater according to the type and characteristics of the media
used.Automatic temperature setting can be made on the operation panel by setting the profile on the
dedicated RIP. For setting on the RIP, refer to the instruction manual for your RIP.
When setting the fabric used, be sure to adjust the head height. Otherwise, the fabric and/or the head
can be damaged.
• If preventing treatment for fray on right and left edges and tenter are thick against the fabric thickness,
adjust the head height and stainless plate height of the fabric holder depending on the thickness of
the right and left edges of the fabric.
• If using fabric with thick right and left edges, as take-up slippage may easily occur because right and
left edges of the roll rise at take-up. If take-up slippage occurred, fabric tends to skew and it may
cause troubles such as contact with the head nozzle surface.
• Do not use a fabric with high expansion and contraction due to ink adhesion or resilient fabric. If such
a fabric is used, it may cause the trouble of contact with the nozzle surface or the misaligned printing.
• When using a fabric with curling, be sure to remove the curling before using. Strong curling may effect
on the quality of printing or may hit the head nozzle surface and may cause discharging defect.
• Store fabric in a bag. Wiping off dust, waste paper and flocks accumulated on a fabric will adversely
affect the fabric due to static electricity.
• When you use fabric media that will easily generate static for printing, use the attached neutralization
fabric. In addition, raise the humidity of the usage environment by using a humidifier etc.
