To check the porosity of your substrate, proceed as follows. 1. If the printer has any substrate loaded, unload it. 2. Cut a piece of self-adhesive vinyl white gloss 15 × 50 mm (0.6 × 2 in) in size. 3. Stick it to the platen as shown. 4. Load the substrate that you want to check. 5. Open your RIP software. 6. Download the test file from inside the printer: http://printerIP/hp/device/webAccess/images/ Ink_trespassing_check.pdf, where printerIP is the IP address of your printer. 7. Print the test file using the number of passes and substrate preset that you intend to use in future with this substrate (or a similar profile in terms of ink limit). 8. Unload the substrate. 9. Remove the strip of self-adhesive vinyl from the platen. 10. Look at the self-adhesive vinyl you have taken from the platen. ● If the strip is completely white (has no ink on it), the tested substrate is non-porous and can be used for printing as described in this guide. ● If there some ink on the strip, the tested substrate is porous and should not be used with the 310 or 330 printers. It may be used with the 360 or 370 printer and the ink collector. 11. Clean the platen: see Clean the platen on page 146. ENWW Porous substrates 45

1.
If the printer has any substrate loaded, unload it.
2.
Cut a piece of self-adhesive vinyl white gloss 15 × 50 mm (0.6 × 2 in) in size.
3.
Stick it to the platen as shown.
4.
Load the substrate that you want to check.
5.
Open your RIP software.
6.
Download the test file from inside the printer:
http://

, where
printerIP
is the IP address of your printer.
7.
Print the test file using the number of passes and substrate preset that you intend to use in future with
this substrate (or a similar profile in terms of ink limit).
8.
Unload the substrate.
9.
Remove the strip of self-adhesive vinyl from the platen.
10.
Look at the self-adhesive vinyl you have taken from the platen.
If the strip is completely white (has no ink on it), the tested substrate is non-porous and can be
used for printing as described in this guide.
If there some ink on the strip, the tested substrate is porous and should not be used with the 310
or 330 printers. It may be used with the 360 or 370 printer and the ink collector.
