Overview You can print on a wide variety of printing materials, all of which are referred to in this guide as substrates. Substrate tips Choosing the correct substrate for your needs is an essential step in ensuring good print quality. Here are some tips about substrate usage. ● Using the take-up reel with some substrates may give the printer better control of the substrate and is likely to improve print quality. See The take-up reel (accessory) on page 55. ● Allow all substrates to adapt to room conditions, out of the packaging, for 24 hours before using them for printing. ● Handle film and photo substrates by the edges, or wear cotton gloves. Skin oils can be transferred to the substrate, leaving fingerprint marks. ● Keep the substrate tightly wound on the roll throughout the loading and unloading procedures. To make sure that the roll stays tightly wound, consider using tape to stick the leading edge of the roll to the core just before removing the roll from the printer. You can keep the roll taped during storage. If the roll starts to unwind, it can become difficult to handle. NOTE: The use of tape to stick the leading edge of the roll to the core is especially important for heavy substrates, because the inherent stiffness of the substrate can cause it to loosen and unwind from the core. ● Print quality could be impaired if you use a substrate that is unsuitable for your image. ● Make sure that the appropriate print-quality setting is selected in the RIP. ● Whenever you load a roll, the front panel prompts you to specify the substrate type that you are loading. For good print quality, it is essential to specify this correctly. Check that the substrate name is the same in the front panel and in the RIP. If the names are not the same, press on the front panel, then Substrate > Change loaded substrate; or change the substrate in the RIP. ● Do not pull the printed substrate while the printer is printing: this can cause severe print-quality defects.

Overview
You can print on a wide variety of printing materials, all of which are referred to in this guide as substrates.
Substrate tips
Choosing the correct substrate for your needs is an essential step in ensuring good print quality.
Here are some tips about substrate usage.
●
Using the take-up reel with some substrates may give the printer better control of the substrate and is
likely to improve print quality. See
The take-up reel (accessory)
on page

.
●
Allow all substrates to adapt to room conditions, out of the packaging, for 24 hours before using them
for printing.
●
Handle film and photo substrates by the edges, or wear cotton gloves. Skin oils can be transferred to
the substrate, leaving fingerprint marks.
●
Keep the substrate tightly wound on the roll throughout the loading and unloading procedures. To
make sure that the roll stays tightly wound, consider using tape to stick the leading edge of the roll to
the core just before removing the roll from the printer. You can keep the roll taped during storage. If the
roll starts to unwind, it can become difficult to handle.
NOTE:
The use of tape to stick the leading edge of the roll to the core is especially important for heavy
substrates, because the inherent stiffness of the substrate can cause it to loosen and unwind from the
core.
●
Print quality could be impaired if you use a substrate that is unsuitable for your image.
●
Make sure that the appropriate print-quality setting is selected in the RIP.
●
Whenever you load a roll, the front panel prompts you to specify the substrate type that you are
loading. For good print quality, it is essential to specify this correctly. Check that the substrate name is
the same in the front panel and in the RIP.
If the names are not the same, press
on the front panel, then

; or change the substrate in the RIP.
●
Do not pull the printed substrate while the printer is printing: this can cause severe print-quality
defects.
