Corrugated Cardboard Also known as: corrugated fiberboard, box board Preparation  Store media flat, in a clean environment with the same or similar temperature and humidity as the printer. Changes in temperature or humidity will cause the material to warp.  Clean with a lint-free cloth to remove any dust and debris.  The material can bend and crease easily. Watch for edges that may strike the carriage. Recommended print modes  Depending on application, ink coverage and image content, all print modes may print acceptably. Faster print modes are less susceptible to bowing of the media due to heat. Printing       Select Corrugated Cardboard when configuring and loading this media. Some colored media may not be able to be detected by the onboard camera. If so, create a copy of the Card Stock media using the Media Wizard and change the Detectable by Printer option to No. Use the Warped Media option when loading non-flat media. Using this option reduces the available print area. Use the lowest possible UV lamp power setting to cure the ink. Use a Corrugated Cardboard media profile from the RIP software. Some materials are more porous and absorb the ink giving a washed out appearance. Use the RIP software's Saturated Rendering Intent option to increase saturation. Output handling  Use caution when lifting it off the table to avoid creases. 14
