belongs to the family named on the front panel, and check also that it matches the substrate profile
in the RIP.
● If the substrate family shown on the front panel does not correspond to the substrate that you have
loaded, take one of the following actions:
◦
Reload the roll into the printer and select the correct substrate family. See Unload a roll from
the printer on page 33 and Load a roll into the printer (automatically) on page 27 .
◦ At the printer's front panel, select the icon, then select View loaded substrate >
Change loaded substrate.
NOTE: Substrate advance calibration is not performed when the substrate family is
changed from the front panel.
CAUTION: Removing the substrate from the printer manually without using the front panel could
damage the printer. Do this only when necessary to clear a substrate jam.
Supported substrate families
Substrate family Description
Self-adhesive Printable PVC films with adhesive on one side and a detachable liner. There are two main vinyl types
classified by manufacturing process and application purpose: calendered (for flat surfaces) and cast
(for complex 3D curves). The film may have different finishes: white, finished, transparent, reflective
or perforated. Perforated substrates may need manual rather than automatic printhead alignment.
Examples: HP Air Release Adhesive Gloss Cast Vinyl, Avery MPI3000 (calendered), Avery
MPI1005 (cast), 3M IJ-380 (cast)
Banner Usually a polyester mesh (which provides mechanical resistance) coated with PVC. There are also
recyclable versions to cover the same applications (green banners). Banners have a wide range of
grammage and can be grouped into frontlit, backlit and block-out categories.
Examples: HP Durable Frontlit Scrim Banner, Ultraflex Normandy Pro, Verseidag banners
Textile Printable textile substrates are usually made of polyester or cotton yarns. Some open or light textile
substrate types come with a removable liner to prevent the ink from passing through the substrate.
Textile materials that are very stiff (such as canvases) should preferably be loaded as “Low-temp."
substrate. These substrates may need manual rather than automatic printhead alignment.
Film Usually a polyester film, although there are other materials such as PVC or PC. Generally these
substrates are used for backlit applications. Select this family setting for substrates that resist
temperatures over 95°C (200°F), otherwise load them preferably as "Low-temp." substrate. These
substrates may need manual rather than automatic printhead alignment.
Example: Intelicoat SBL-7 Polyester Backlit Film
Synthetic paper Substrates manufactured using synthetic resins, mainly extruded from polypropylene (PP). They have
characteristics similar to those of plastic film, but their appearance and properties are similar to
regular paper made from wood pulp.
Examples: Yupo FEB 250, Ilford Omnijet Dry Glossy Portable Display Film
Paper-aqueous Light paper-based (cellulose) substrates with a coating compatible with water-based inks, or offset
paper. These substrates are not compatible with solvent inks. Weight is usually around 100 g/m².
Example: HP Heavyweight Coated Paper
Paper-solvent Paper-based (cellulose) substrates with a top-coating compatible with solvent inks. Weight is usually
between 120 and 200 g/m².
Examples: HP Blue Back Billboard Paper, Intelicoat GPIOF140, blue back substrates
