Media - Epson SureColor S30670 User Manual

The printed surface is scuffed or soiled.
Is the media too thick or too thin?
o
Check media specifications to confirm that it is compatible with the printer. If you are using a
software RIP, contact the manufacturer for information on the settings and media that can be
used.
Is the media wavy?
o
Certain types of media may develop waves under some conditions (humidity and temperature)
while installed in the printer. If a wave has developed, press the d button in the control panel to
feed the media and avoid the affected area. We recommend that you lower the temperature
and humidity to prevent waves developing.
Is the media creased or folded?
o
Media that is creased or folded may rise from the platen and contact the print head, resulting in
smudges or uneven colors.
Are the wiper, caps, or print head stained?
o
Ink clots or lint around the wiper, caps, or print head may result in stains caused by a build-up of
ink. Clean the affected area.
See "Regular Maintenance" on page 89.
Is the print head scuffing the printed surface?
o
Smear caused by the print head scuffing the media can be prevented by adjusting the Platen
Gap to suit the media.
See "Platen Gap" on page 69.
