Plywood Examples: Raw, primed or painted plywood, MDO, MDF 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.  Media is often supplied un-square, so trimming it to square may be necessary for some applications, such as edge to edge printing. Make sure all edges are cut clean and are free of burrs and/or excess material.  Use compressed air to blow dust and debris from printing surface. Recommended print modes  Depending on application, ink coverage, image content and wood surface, all print modes may print acceptably. Printing       Select Plywood when configuring and loading this media. Some surfaces are more porous and absorb the ink giving a washed out appearance. Use the RIP software's Saturated Rendering Intent option to increase saturation. Non-white media may not be able to be detected by the onboard camera. If so, create a copy of the Plywood media using the Media Wizard and change the Detectable by Printer option to No. Due to the strength and shape memory of wood products the printer may not be able to feed some warped sheets. A head height higher than the nominal 0.085 inch (2.2 mm) setting may be necessary to avoid carriage scraping on non-flat materials. Use a Plywood media profile from the RIP software. Output handling  These materials are heavy in larger sizes. Do not exceed 150 lb (68 kg). 19
