HP Designjet 9000s Printer series - Manual (Page 136)

Using media
● Avoid changes to room conditions and allow media to adapt to room conditions out of the
packaging for 3 hours or more before printing.
● Low humidity may cause curling of media and high humidity may cause wrinkling.
Use media in the recommended temperature and humidity conditions (about 23 °C and 50% R.H.).
● Do not use scratched, crumpled, curled, or dusty media.
Take care not to damage the edges of roll media as this may affect media feeding.
Do not drop or wet the media.
● Handle media by the edges. Skin oils can be transferred to the printing material, leaving fingerprint
marks.
● Keep the media tightly wound on the roll throughout the loading and unloading procedures.
Handling prints
● Do not touch the printed surface before the ink dries.
Handle media by the edges.
When handling media, take special care in the first 24 hours after printing.
● Rubbing the printed surface may cause color fading or color transfer.
To prevent color transfer do not stack printed images.
● Do not stack your prints together with photocopies or laser prints. The ink or toner may cause
images to stick together.
● Do not rub, scratch, or hold media as this may cause the ink to peal off.
● Do not rub or leave media in damp conditions as this may cause blurring in printed images.
Other precautions
● The printing characteristics of media may change over a long period of time and colors may fade or
print quality may deteriorate.
Use media in good condition.
● Media particles caused by cutting of the media may harm the media coating.
● When using vinyl (with glue), adhesive matter (with glue) may stick to the platen.
Adhesive matter on the platen may cause the media to jam.
Clean adhesive matter from the platen. See How do I... Clean the platen.
