temperature and humidity
environment.

to a high humidity environment, spotted ink may not spread enough but
become small dot diameters. In such a case, print may be blurred or
thin. (It occurs conspicuously in yellow.)
• If the CPF is not used for a while, remove the roll from
the printer, wrap it in its individual bag, and then store it
in its individual box.

• Lower the white ink duty on the RIP setup or on the
image data.
• Print using Uni-D printing.
