Plywood
Examples: Raw, primed or painted plywood, MDO, MDF
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.
• Media is often supplied un-square, so trimming it to square may be necessary for some
applications, such as edge to edge printing. Make sure all edges are cut clean and are free
of burrs and/or excess material.
• Use compressed air to blow dust and debris from printing surface.
Recommended print modes
• Depending on application, ink coverage, image content and wood surface, all print modes
may print acceptably.
• Select Plywood when configuring and loading these media.
• Some surfaces are more porous and absorb the ink giving a washed out appearance. Use
the RIP software’s Saturated Rendering Intent option to increase saturation.
• Non-white media may not be able to be detected by the onboard camera. If so, create a
copy of the Plywood media using the Media Wizard and change the Detectable by Printer
option to No.
• Due to the strength and shape memory of wood products the printer may not be able to
feed some warped sheets.
• A head height higher than the nominal 0.085 inch (2.2 mm) setting may be necessary to
avoid carriage scraping on non-flat materials.
• Use a Plywood media profile from the RIP software.
Output handling
• These materials are heavy in larger sizes. Do not exceed 150 lb. (68 kg).
