Printing Tips
Types of Media
The AstroJet 2000 will print on many types of mailing media, but some restrictions apply.
As with any other printing process, the texture of the media has a direct effect on both the
print quality and the ink drying time. It is best to test each new type of media to determine
performance levels before beginning the Job.
Since coated and plastic types of paper do not easily absorb ink, smearing may occur. Print
may appear fuzzy on very porous paper. Another cause of fuzzy printouts is excessive
buildup of dust within the machine, or a printhead is too far away from the media. Be aware,
that when printing in the High Quality mode, drying time for the ink is longer than in the
other modes. In addition, when humidity is high, drying time is increased.
Media Thickness
The AstroJet 2000 will handle pieces up to 1/4” thick (0.250”). All folds must be crisp and
even.
