Underlay Board to Reduce Artifacts
Underlay Board to Reduce Artifacts
Introduction
When printing on thin, flexible, or porous media, the holes in the vacuum table of
the printer can cause print artifacts (sometimes referred to as “dimpling”). If you
encounter this problem when printing, use the provided underlay board between the
media and the table to reduce the problem.
Purpose
To reduces print artifacts (dimples) on thin or flexible media.
When to do
If you use a thin media that shows dimples that correspond to the holes in the
vacuum table, then you may need to use the underlay board beneath your media to
avoid this problem.
Before you begin
A Medium Density Fiber (MDF) underlay board ships with the printer. If this board
is damaged, replacements are not available from Océ Display Graphics Systems.
You must source the underlay locally (these boards are used with routers that require
vacuum tables, which may help you locate a local supplier). If you can't source an
underlay board locally, here is a possible source for them.
North American contact information (a suggested source - other sources of similar
products may be available. For other areas, check your local hardware and router
supply stores):

Note:
If you use the underlay board, make sure that you cover over any areas of the
board not covered by the media or the vacuum pressure will be reduced. Also make
sure that there are no high spots that could cause a carriage collision.
