Usage Guidelines
Calibration
It’s always best to calibrate (linearize) your printer each and every time you change
media and/or ink sets. Refer to printer manual for specific instructions on
calibration.
Operating Conditions
AZONcolor Inkjet Media works best in controlled operating conditions.
Recommended operating conditions are: Relative Humidity 20-70% & Temperature
65-85°F. Dry time for your image will vary and is dependent on printer, inks,
amount of ink used, environmental conditions, and media type. Most graphic
images can be handled within 20 minutes of printing. Images using heavy ink
coverage may require 30-60 minutes of drying time.
Storage Conditions
Always store inkjet media in a cool dry place. Recommended storage conditions
should fall within the guidelines of “Operating Conditions” (see above). If storage
conditions do not fall within these guidelines, it is recommended that the media be
allowed to acclimate to the operating conditions for 48 hours prior to printing.
Lamination
Over-laminates can provide effective protection of your image from moisture and
limited protection from UV fading of the inks. Both hot and cold laminates are
available with varying results. It is, however, extremely important that your image
be completely dry prior to laminating. Your print may not laminate properly if
laminated before fully dry, causing it to de-laminate over time. Depending on ink
saturation, it may take up to 24 hours. We also recommend that your image be
completely dry before mounting to avoid its becoming ruined.
Media Handling
It is extremely important to handle White Opaque Film from the edges and avoid
handling in the imaging area of the film. Fingerprints, dirt, and oils from your hands can
cause inks to repel and result in poor printer output. A pair of cotton gloves is provided
with the product and should be used when loading and unloading White Opaque Film
from your machine. Always return any unused film back into the white polyester bag.
Please refer to the manual supplied with your machine for proper loading instructions.
Inks
AZONcolor White Opaque Film is designed to work with your printer manufacturer’s
dye-based ink. Use of inks other than the original equipment manufacturer’s ink may
require testing to qualify that ink with AZONcolor media and/or may produce poor
results.
Input Affects Output
When generating files for wide format graphics applications, it is recommended that
raster images such as tif, bmp, jpg, etc., maintain a minimum of 75 pixels per inch
(PPI) at final output size. This will eliminate “jaggies” or “bitmapping” of continuous tone
images. Vector files (usually referring to text and illustrations drawn in software
applications such as Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator) will remain crisp when scaled up
as long as your application does not rasterize the information (i.e., if imported into
Adobe PhotoShop). Acceptable color matching of vector files to Pantone Matching
System (PMS) specifications can be obtained if your RIP software utilizes proper ICC
profiles when outputting to specific ink/media/output device combinations.
