Printing on Porous Media

Printing on Porous Media
Introduction
During printing, ink will penetrate deeper into porous media compared to non-porous media. The
deeper the ink penetrates into the media, the more difficult it is to fully cure the ink. Un-coated
corrugated cardboard is considered to be porous media.
Safety Guidelines
For printing images on porous media with high ink loads the following safety guidelines are
recommended:
• Use Canon recommended profiles. This will help limit the ink load to a safe level. Canon
recommended profiles can be found at http://www.onyxgfx.com/my-onyx/drivers-and-profiles/
• Use "Production" or slower print modes if possible
• Set UV lamp power levels to high
• Handle printed media with prescribed gloves
• Avoid un-coated cardboard media with a high content of recycled materials. Media with a high
content of recycled materials will allow ink to penetrate deeper in to the media
NOTE
For printing in "Express" mode the UV lamp power level is fixed at the highest possible level by
the printer .
