Caution in handling of medias

Pay attention to the followings for handling of medias.

• When handling media, wear the gloves.

If you touch the media with your bare hand, the
media may be stained due to fingerprints or oil of
your finger. Be careful about it.
• Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a
long time.
Waviness may occur on the media and it may
cause media clogging.
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure
reliable, high-quality printing.
Set the heater temperature to meet the
characteristics of the media.
• Set the temperature of the heater according to
the type and characteristics of the media used.
Automatic temperature setting can be made on the
operation panel by setting the profile on the
dedicated RIP. For setting on the RIP, refer to the
instruction manual for your RIP.
• Pay attention to the expansion and contraction
of the media.
Do not use media immediately after unpacking.
The media can be affected by the room
temperature and humidity, and thus it may expand
and contract.
The media have to be left in the atmosphere in
which they are to be used for 1 day or more after
unpacked.
• Do not use curled media.
This may result in paper jamming.
If a regular-sized coated sheet of media is rolled
and stored, the coated side has to face outside.
• Be careful to dusts on the edge face of the
media.
Some rolls have dusts contained in the package
gathered on the edge surface of the roll. If you use
as it is, the drawing quality may be degraded due
to nozzle missing or ink drops. Be sure to set the
roll after removing dusts adhering on the edge
face of the roll.
