Using paper

Choosing the correct paper type for your needs is an essential step in ensuring good print quality. For

best printing results, use only recommended papers (see

Supported paper types on page 200), whose

reliability and performance have been developed and thoroughly tested. All printing components (printer,

ink system and paper) have been designed to work together to give trouble-free performance and

optimal print quality.

Here are some further tips about paper usage:

●

Always keep unused rolls wrapped in the plastic wrap to prevent discoloration. Rewrap partially

used rolls if they are not being used.

●

Do not stack rolls.

●

Allow all paper types to adapt to room conditions out of the packaging for 24 hours before printing.

●

Handle film and glossy paper by the edges or wear cotton gloves. Skin oils can be transferred to

the printing material, leaving fingerprint marks.

●

Keep the paper tightly wound on the roll throughout the loading and unloading procedures. If it

starts to unwind, it can become difficult to handle.

●

Whenever you load a roll or a sheet, the front panel prompts you to specify the paper type you are

loading. For good print quality, it is essential to specify this correctly. If paper is already loaded,

you can check the paper type at the front panel by highlighting the

or icon.

●

The quality of some images may be reduced if you use a paper type that is unsuitable for your

image.

●

Make sure the appropriate print quality setting (Fast, Normal or Best) is selected. You can set the

print quality from the driver, from the Embedded Web Server or from the front panel. Driver or

Embedded Web Server settings override front panel settings. The combination of paper type and

print quality settings tells the printer how to place the ink on the paper—for example, the ink density,

halftoning method and number of passes of the printheads. See

Choose print quality settings

on page 57.

●

Although the ink systems supplied with this printer have good light-fastness, colors will eventually

fade or change if exposed to sunlight over a long period of time.
