Waves in media

Introduction

Solve media touches or print quality artefacts caused by waves in the media. When media is
weak and or of a relatively narrow media width (<1000mm) the vacuum suction can be too low
and the media will start to move over the platen in a wave motion. Follow the procedure below.
You can stop at any time in the procedure when the problem is solved.

Procedure

1.

Increase the [Vacuum power] settings in the RIP. Increase with steps of 10%. For each step you
increase and have changed the setting: reload the media before you continue printing. Observe
the media movement on the platen first, before you increase the vacuum power again. 

Change

the media settings on page 65

.

2.

Perform media calibration. 

Calibrate the media on page 118

.

3.

Use a different media type.
