Card Stock

Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See

Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications

for information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of print media.

When printing on card stock:

l

 

Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause print media handling or jamming problems.

l

 

Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.

l

 

Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile

components into the printer.

l

 

We recommend the use of grain long card stock.

 

Storing Print Media

Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality:

l

 For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.

l

 

Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

l

 

If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.

l

 

Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.
