18 Requirements for usable media
Media that meet the requirements below can be used with this printer.
• Do not use media that is sensitive to heat.
The heat given off by the UV rays could deform such media, or affect its image quality, or cause it to contact with the head.
• If printing onto a solid object that is liable to roll (such as a golf ball or ballpoint pen), use a jig or similar to stop it from
rolling.
• Printing on non-flat surface media will generate ink mist, causing malfunction or damage to the printer.
• If you are printing on non-flat surface media and there is large distance between the print head and media, you may not
be able to achieve predictable print quality.
To print on such media with more than 0.5 mm height difference, it is recommended to use the "Low Speed" printing mode.
It allows you to print on media up to 2.0 mm height difference and helps to minimize the ink mist, ink bleeding or layer shift.
"** > 6: Low Speed" P. 72
• Printing on a light reflective material may have a chance to cure the ink on the print head, causing malfunction or damage
to the product. To print on such materials, it is recommended to mask the non-print area on the material.
