Guidelines to select the print media
Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:
•
Poor print quality
•
Increased paper jams
•
Premature wear on the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the machine’s
performance and the output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•
The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are described in print media specifications (See "Print
media specifications" on page 71).
•
Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.
•
Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.
•
Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
•
Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory results. This
may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over
which cannot be controlled.
•
Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specified in this user’s
guide.
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are
not covered by the warranty or service agreements.
