Specifications
Media
Environmental For best results, use the media at:
• 15–25 °C (59–77 °F)
• 20–60 % relative humidity
Storage • Store the unused (unprinted) media in its carrier and in the original
packaging, away from high temperatures and high humidity. For
best results, storage conditions should not exceed 25 °C (77 °F) and
60 % relative humidity.
• Store the printed media away from extreme temperatures or high
humidity.
• As the CHROMA media is used with ink jet technology utilizing
pigmented inks, there is no inherent shelf life or expiration date
defined for these products.
NOTE: Follow local waste disposal regulations. Manage the disposal
appropriately to protect patient privacy rights if required by local
regulations.
