Precautions when handling printouts 

 

z

Do not touch the printed surface of the media before the ink dries, or especially 24 hours after printing. 
Handle the printout by the margins. 

 

z

Do not scratch the printout to avoid lost or transfer of colors. To avoid color transfer, do not stack printed 
media on one another with their printed surface facing in contact. 

 

z

Do not put printed media on a printout from a copier or laser printer. The printouts’ ink or toner may make 
the two printouts to stick together. 

 

z

Note that ink on a printed surface may come off if the surface is rubbed hard or scratched. 

 

z

The printed image may bleed or disappear if scratched or left while being wet. 

Other precautions 

 

z

Media loses its color and quality with age. Check the media condition and select the media in the best 
condition. 

 

z

Cut the media carefully, as paper dust may make irregular surfaces. 

 

z

When adhesive-backed media is applied, some adhesive agent may be left on the platen, which may 
cause a media jam. So clean the agent completely with a soft cloth moistened with the neutral detergent. 

 

Carriage operation during printing

When printing in reflecting sheet mode, the carriage operates the same as when 48-inch media is used even if 
narrower media is used in order to maintain the drying performance.
