Caring for your media

For best results follow these instructions when handling media:
Store media in its original packaging in a cool, dry area until you are ready
I
to use it.
The environment should be stable (no extremes of heat or cold, or
I
non-condensing humidity). If temperature conditions are outside the
recommended range for printer operation, allow the media to acclimatise in
the operating environment for at least 48 hours before use.
If you remove a roll of media from the printer, store it in such a way as to
I
keep it clean and free of dust. Ideally, you should return it to its original
packaging for storage.
Print on the correct side. The printable side of all OCE media always is on
I
the outside of the roll.
If there is any doubt what is the correct side, the coated side can be identified
I
by wetting the surface a bit and feel if the surface is somewhat sticky.(coated
side is the printable side).
Handle the media with care to avoid creases, scrapes, and tears. Avoid
I
crushing or damaging of roll media edges.
Attention:
photographic paper-based media are very sensitive to scratches and
creases, and may absorb skin oils. Fingerprints on the media before
printing may result in visible fingerprints after the ink is applied.
