    • Recommendations

      Secure the object with an adhesive sheet.

      MEMO The size of the included adhesive sheet is A5 (210 mm × 148 mm (8.27 in. × 5.83 in.)). It is preferable to align the adhesive sheet with the white border of the maximum printing area.

    • Unstable or Otherwise Unwieldy Objects

      Use masking tape to secure paper with creases from folding or paper that tends to curl up due to having been rolled up. If the shape of the object makes it difficult to secure, use a jig.

      When the adhesive sheet loses its adhesive strength, rinsing it clean with water will improve it. If the adhesive sheet does not regain its adhesive strength even after rinsing it clean with water, replace the adhesive sheet. For information about purchasing adhesive sheets, contact your authorized dealer or visit our website (https://www.rolanddg.com/).

    IMPORTANT Protect areas outside of the printing area of thick objects.

    Fine particles of ink that are scattered on areas other than the printing area are called "ink mist." Once this ink mist adheres to the object, it becomes difficult to remove. Cover areas outside the printing area and the sides of objects with masking tape (A) or use a jig (B).

  5. If necessary, perform the following operations.
    • Use a static removal brush or anti-static cloth to eliminate static electricity from the object.
    • Degrease the printing area of the object using anhydrous ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.
  6. Close the front cover.
