Corrugated cardboard
Also known as: corrugated fiberboard, box board
Preparation
• Store media flat, in a clean environment with the same or similar temperature and
humidity as the printer. Changes in temperature or humidity will cause the material to
warp.
• Clean with a lint-free cloth to remove any dust and debris.
• The material can bend and crease easily. Watch for edges that may strike the carriage.
Recommended print modes
• Depending on application, ink coverage and image content, all print modes may print
acceptably. Faster print modes are less susceptible to bowing of the media due to heat.
Printing
• Select Corrugated Cardboard when configuring and loading these media.
• Some colored media may not be able to be detected by the onboard camera. If so, create a
copy of the Card Stock media using the Media Wizard and change the Detectable by
Printer option to No.
• Use the Warped Media option when loading non-flat media. Using this option reduces the
available print area.
• Use the lowest possible UV lamp power setting to cure the ink.
• Use a Corrugated Cardboard media profile from the RIP software.
• Some materials are more porous and absorb the ink giving a washed out appearance. Use
the RIP software’s Saturated Rendering Intent option to increase saturation.
Output handling
• Use caution when lifting it off table to avoid creases.
