INTRODUCTION
If you remove a roll of media from the printer, be sure to store it in a manner which keeps it
clean and dust-free. Ideally, you should return it to its original packaging for storage.
Print on the correct side! Roll media is wound with the coated side out. Cut sheet media has
an ink-receptive and a non-ink-receptive side. The sheets are notched to help you orient them
correctly. To assure that you print on the correct side, be sure that the notch is in the upper
right corner when you feed the sheet into the printer.
Handle with care! Handle your media carefully to avoid creases, scrapes, and tears. Avoid
crushing or damaging roll media edges.
Wear cotton gloves! Film-based and photographic paper-based media are susceptible to
absorbing skin oils. Fingerprints on the media prior to printing may result in visible
fingerprints after ink is applied.
Choose the correct printing mode
There are five printing modes, giving you freedom to tradeoff drawing quality and speed. When
printing heavier renderings, maps, or art graphics, choose one of the enhanced printing modes.
Use the right software
The quality of the software driver or the RIP can be very important, especially when printing
continuous tone images or 3D renderings. Error diffusion or stochastic screening algorithms
can yield photo-like images, even when these images are scaled to full size. Software without
advanced imaging features may produce images which are grainy when enlarged.
Nine Factors that Affect Print Quality
Understanding all the factors that contribute to print quality is the only way to ensure perfect
printing each and every time. This section details nine important factors; by controlling them,
you can achieve the very best print quality possible.
Most important, and often overlooked, is the process of matching output print quality to
customer expectations of print quality. Before beginning any inkjet print job, you must have a
clear understanding of what the customer expects. Inkjet printing has certain limitations and
depending on the print process you employ, inkjet printing can produce a wide variety of print
qualities. High quality printing costs more to accomplish. Before embarking on any print task,
discuss with the customer what their expectations are and what they are willing to pay for. Then
and only then, set upon the task of achieving the pre-determined print quality you both expect.
