Printing Guidelines
Allow material to adapt to room conditions for 24 hours before printing. It is recommended to handle the media with cotton gloves. Make sure that the media comes not into contact with grease, oil, silicon, and dirt to avoid printing defects.
Load the media with care in the printers. Incorrect loading can cause skewing or creasing. Use a take-up device is recommended. It is recommended to calibrate the printer before printing and to make a test print.
Print results will vary for different printer/ink combinations. The ink limit, i.e. the maximum amount of ink, should be adjusted depending on the printer, ink, RIP software. This limitation of the amount of ink shortens the drying time and consequently accelerates the production process. Canon media profiles include recommended settings for ink restrictions and printer parameters.
Depending on fluctuations in environment, printer, ink, media and applications, printer parameters may have to be adjusted slightly, in order to obtain the best results. For high-speed production printing, using an external drying unit is recommended.
