Dry Cockle on High Density Prints Using Paper Based Media

   

High density prints can cause dry cockle mainly on Paper Based Media.

To solve the problem do the following:

 

-Use the Take-Up Reel and Take-Up Reel deflectors.
-Set the Printer to Productivity mode to reduce the ink density.
-Select Coated media modes.

 
If the problem persists, try the following:
 

 

-Laminate the prints.
-Use a heavier media that is more suitable to high ink density, such as HP Paper based Semi-Gloss or HP Poster Paper.
