• Properties such as weight, composition, texture and humidity are important factors affecting the printer performance and output quality.

• Please note the following matters when selecting the print media:

1. Desired print effect: The print media selected should be in line with the requirement of the print tasks.

2. Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media may affect the sharpness of the print outcome.

3. Some print media may meet all the standards for use contained herein, but they do not have the satisfactory effect.
