Printing Tips 2-21
Printing Tips • Rigid cut-sheet media — use only flat, unwarped, undam-
aged sheets, with parallel opposite edges and 90
° corners.
• Curing continues for 24-48 hours — the UV ink will con-
tinue to cure for a day or two after printing. Maximum dura-
bility and adhesion is achieved after the ink is fully cured.
• Pausing printing — to pause printing, press the
(Pause)
key. While printing is paused, you can:
• Perform a Standard Purge of one or more colors, to
restore missing inkjets.
• Change media settings (vacuum, print delay).
• Pause-swap inks (see “Pause Swapping Ink,” below).
Caution Synthetic media commonly used for inkjet printing
can build up a static charge, especially in environ-
ments with low relative humidity. This charge can
pose an electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazard to
persons, the printer, and other equipment. It can be
safely discharged by draping a grounded chain or
tinsel over the top of the stack of media.
• Printing roll-fed media without the takeup — cured out-
put is dry to the touch immediately, so roll-fed output can be
allowed to collect on the floor (for example, during unat-
tended printing) without using the takeup system, with no
damage to the output.
• Lighter, smaller media rolls — for lighter, smaller rolls of
media, you can use the rigid media tables and media rollers
to feed the media like rigid media.
