Static Electricity And Rigid Media 1
Introduction Static electricity is often a problem when working with rigid media, particularly of synthetic materials. The media materials are often nonconductive, so static charges cannot dissipate on their own. The typical symptoms of a static problem are any of the following: • “Pinholes” or other small spots where ink did not adhere to the media, allowing the media surface to show through. Pinholes occur when static has attracted foreign particles to the media surface.
