How to use

Load the roll into the plotter according to the printer manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the paper edge is square and the roll is correctly seated to prevent skewing. Select a matte or plain paper media type in the printer driver and adjust print resolution and color profiles as required for the job. For the best results, allow prints to dry before stacking and handle printed sheets by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the image area.

Recommendations

Store the paper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Use printer settings optimized for 90 g/m² matte media and perform regular printer maintenance, such as nozzle checks and printhead alignments, to maintain image quality and reduce the risk of banding or color shifts.
