Tips on using card stock
Card stock is heavy, single-ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness,
and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before
buying large quantities.
When printing on card stock:
•
From MarkVision Professional, the printer software, or the printer control panel:
1
Set the Paper Type to Card Stock.
2
Set the Paper Weight to Card Stock Weight.
3
Set the Card Stock Weight to Normal or Heavy.
•
Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or
other paper handling problems.
•
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F)
without releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting
introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
•
Use grain short card stock when possible.
