Caution in handling of medias

Pay attention to the followings for handling of medias.
• 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.
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure
reliable, high-quality printing.
• 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 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.
