Media Thickness

Lever

The W660/W680 is designed to feed and print on a range of

materials with various finishes and coatings. However, the

sharpness of the print may vary with different materials, depend-

ing on how absorbent the surface is, as well as other qualities.

You'll get best results using white wove bonded stock. Printing is

less sharp on Tyvek, recycled and glossy material. It is also

possible that ink may not dry thoroughly on certain very glossy

materials. Always test high gloss materials for their drying

qualities before you buy them in quantity and attempt to run a

print job.
