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. Insert the Tyvek with care in the printer. Incorrect loading can cause skewing or creasing. It is recommended to calibrate the printer before printing and to make a test print.
Print results will vary for different printer ink/toner combinations. Ink/toner restrictions and printer settings have to be set for specific printer-ink/toner combinations to obtain the best results. Canon colour profiles will set optimal restrictions and printer-settings for Canon supported printers. Because of the random/non oriented fibers Tyvek has a certain inhomogeneity across its web.
This inhomogeneity may differ per batch and may lead to problems on printers, specifically in cases where Tyvek is exposed to heat. Due to the nature of the product, high tolerance on thickness, only CW700 and CW3700 are recommended.
