Caution in handling of medias

Pay attention to the followings for handling of medias.
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to
ensure reliable, high-quality printing.
Set the heater temperature to meet the
characteristics of the media.
• Pay attention to the expansion and
contraction of the media.
Do not use media immediately after unpacking.
The media can be affected by the room
temperature and humidity, and thus it may
expand and contract.
The media have to be left in the atmosphere in
which they are to be used for 30 minutes or more
after unpacked.
• Be careful to dusts on the edge face of the

media.

Some rolls have dusts contained in the package
gathered on the edge surface of the roll. If you
use as it is, the drawing quality may be degraded
due to nozzle missing or ink drops. Be sure to set
the roll after removing dusts adhering on the edge
face of the roll.
• Do not use curled media.
This may result in paper jamming.
If a regular-sized coated sheet of media is rolled
and stored, the coated side has to face outside.
