4 Getting to Know Your ColorgrafX X2
Feature overview (con’t)
X2 supplied products are all direct-write, specially
coated materials that vary in coating structure,
physical properties (such as basis weight and
overall product thickness), and base material type
(such as paper, fabric, film or vinyl). These
variances not only cause the printer setup for each
material to be unique in order to successfully run
each material through the printer, but also cause the
achievable image quality per product to be different.
The coating layer on each media is different
because it must adhere to the individual base
material (i.e., thick or porous, smooth or woven) as
well as image in either 360 or 720 dpi print mode.
Therefore, the image quality will vary per media
type.
For example, Poly Canvas image quality is not equal
to that of Presentation Paper, even though both are
360 dpi. Your RIP should provide curves that are
calibrated specifically for the unique requirements o
f
each media.
The recommended print media has controlled
curling properties optimized for the printer’s media
transport mechanism. Using the recommended
media will reduce media jams.
