WARNING! The printer should not be covered with any substrate, especially not rigid substrate. Storage area for materials When planning a storage area for materials used with the printer, thought should not only be given to safety and convenience, but also to the fact that if inks and substrates are not stored in the appropriate temperature and humidity conditions, print results may be adversely affected. The storage area should be of sufficient size to accommodate adequate stocks of substrate rolls and inks. The storage area should be located near the print production area to minimize the lifting and maneuvering of heavy materials and to finish and package prints for shipment or distribution. The storage area should have a covered roof. It should be dry, well ventilated and able to provide protection from direct light. It is important that temperature and humidity are maintained within values specified for each substrate type. NOTE: Allow enough (environmentally controlled) space to store the printheads. This is indicated by the directional arrows on the printhead boxes. Storage conditions for ridged substrates Rigid-cut sheet substrate should be stored flat and not stored for long periods before use. Any warping of this substrate will increase the likelihood of the carriage striking it during printing, or substrate feed problems. Due to the tendency of synthetic rigid substrate to build up an electrostatic charge, ESD abatement measures such as raising the relative humidity in the room or draping copper grounding tinsel over the stored substrate may be necessary. Inks and solvent containers must be properly sealed and stored in the upright position in a flame-proof storage cabinet. WARNING! Do not permit smoking or open flames in the print production or storage areas, and prominently display the appropriate warning signs. WARNING! To avoid electrical shocks or burns caused by the use of wrong type of fire extinguisher, make sure your fire extinguisher has been approved for use on electrical fires. NOTE: It is recommended that substrate remain in their sealed wrapping material when placed in storage. It is advisable to move them from the storage area to the print production area at least 24 hours before use, so that they may reach the required moistness and operating temperature. Storage conditions for substrate rolls Keep substrate rolls in their sealed wrapping material while they are placed in storage. Store substrate rolls vertically to avoid the migration of plasticizers in some materials. Move substrates from the storage area to the print production area at least 24 hours before use, so that they can reach the required moistness and operating temperature. NOTE: HP substrate rolls have a 12 month warranty when the substrate rolls are stored under optimal conditions. The warranty term varies depending upon the material and the manufacturer.
