3. Load your new substrate. The process of loading a substrate into the printer has been designed to be completely independent of the substrate type. When loading, follow the correct procedure and ensure that the roll width is specified, either automatically by the printer or by yourself. You may not experience the best possible results if there are significant differences between the specified and the actual roll width. NOTE: You are recommended to use the roll-to-roll configuration when creating a new preset. 4. Choose a suitable carriage beam printing position: see Set the carriage beam position on page 123. Create a new substrate preset with the Add New Substrate wizard The Add New Substrate guides you to work out the best settings for your substrate. It first requests some information about the substrate and your intended use of it, then prints some test prints and asks you to evaluate them. From this information, it creates the new preset. To use the wizard, first ensure that the new substrate is loaded in the roll-to-roll configuration, then go to the Internal Print Server, select the Substrate tab, and then Create.
