HANDLING
All inkjet media must be handled with care before and
after printing to prevent damage to the ink receiving
layer and printed images. Use the following guidelines,
your experience, and common sense for the proper care
of your media.
During finishing:
• Do not allow media to remain rolled for extended
periods of time.
• Store unused media in its original packaging, using
the core-plugs and plastic sleeves.
• Rough cut prints and lay them flat before laminating.
• Allow media to acclimate to your environmental
conditions for at least 24 hours before use.
• KODAK Inkjet Media is rolled printable side out.
Avoid touching the printable side by handling by the
edges of the roll.
FINISHING
Detailed information and tips can be found in KODAK
publication E-2600, Laminating, Mounting, and Finishing
KODAK Wide-Format Inkjet Media.
• Wear cotton gloves when handling media to avoid
scratches, abrasions and fingerprints from moisture
and oils on your hands.
• Do not allow the media to come into contact with
moisture. Moisture will damage many types of inkjet
medias before and after printing.
• Avoid handling, trimming, or other finishing until
prints are completely dry. Dry times will vary based
on media type, ink type and environmental
conditions.
DISPLAY
KODAK Inkjet Media is intended for display in typical
home, office, and retail environments. Unusual
conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity,
may affect the expected lifetime of the displayed print.
Kodak is unable to test all possible environments, so it is
recommended to test display conditions when possible
to be sure that the media meets the necessary
requirements
• Do not fold, bend or crease media or damage may
occur to the ink receiving layer.
• Do not allow the surface of the media to come into
contact with itself or another inkjet media.
• Use media only in recommended operating
conditions—see "Physical Characteristics" section.
Curl
Most types of roll-based inkjet media will exhibit some
amount of curl, either toward the base side or toward
the print side. This will vary based on media type and
environmental conditions. Some media will curl more in
low humidity environments and others in high humidity
environments. Also, media may curl more towards the
core or end of the roll due to "roll memory."
Although curl is mainly an issue when printing, it can
also have an impact on laminating and other finishing
procedures. Follow these guidelines, and use your
experience and common sense to avoid issues caused
by curl.
When printing:
• Advance media several inches past the print platen
before starting a print job.
• Add weights or clips to the leading edge of the
media.
• Attach media to the printer’s take-up spool before
starting printing.
• Adjust vacuum settings accordingly on printers
equipped with variable media vacuum settings.
• Adjust heater and dryer settings on equipped printers
to obtain optimum conditions to ensure flat media.

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Kodak will guarantee prints from compatible systems against noticeable fading, cracking, yellowing, and bleeding when
the print is viewed from its intended viewing distance.
The Indoor Performance Guarantee durations will vary based on the media/printer/ink system. The stated durations
assume the media is displayed indoors under fluorescent light (average intensity 450-lux, 12 hours/day), and/or with
indirect sunlight exposure (at least 6 feet from a window, with no direct sunlight). The guarantee assumes the media will
be displayed in a typical indoor environment and will not be exposed to a high level of pollutants (above a typical ozone
level for an indoor environment).
Terms, conditions and additional information about the Performance Guarantee can be found at:
