Working with the Media
and Ink
Handling the CHROMA Media (Film or Paper)
When working with media:
• Avoid touching the printable surface with your bare hands.
Fingerprints might affect print quality. Handle the media by its
edges.
• For optimal performance, allow the media to dry thoroughly. Media
drying time may vary depending on environmental conditions.
• Avoid exposure to moisture and adhesives.
• Do not place sticky notes on the media. Removal of a sticky note
could damage the printed image.
• Before storing printed media, let the media thoroughly dry.
• Remove prints promptly after printing due to limited space in the
output tray.
NOTE: If disposing of used media, manage the disposal appropriately to
protect patient privacy rights, if required by local regulations.
