The W660/W680 is designed to feed and print on a range of
materials with various finishes and coatings. However, the
sharpness of the print may vary with different materials, depend-
ing on how absorbent the surface is, as well as other qualities.
You'll get best results using white wove bonded stock. Printing is
less sharp on Tyvek, recycled and glossy material. It is also
possible that ink may not dry thoroughly on certain very glossy
materials. Always test high gloss materials for their drying
qualities before you buy them in quantity and attempt to run a
print job.
