Careful handing and storage of your media is important in order to maximize print quality.
If the media becomes contaminated or dirty, it can damage the printer and cause defects in the printed image (voids, streaks, discoloration, compromise the adhesive, etc.).
During manufacturing, packaging, handling and storage, the outside length of media may become dirty or contaminated. Remove the outside layer of the media roll or stack before you load the roll into the printer media compartment. This will remove any contaminants which might be transferred onto the printhead during normal operation.
