How to install HP Everyday Matte Polypropylene

• Step 1: Prepare your printer using the appropriate media profile for matte polypropylene, selecting a substrate setting that matches a 36" wide roll with a 3" core to ensure proper feed and tension.
• Step 2: Load the 36" roll onto your printer’s take-up and feed system, ensuring the spool is aligned and tension is balanced to prevent curling or skewing during printing.
• Step 3: Calibrate color settings and ink type for optimal performance on matte polypropylene, then run a small calibration sheet to verify color accuracy and edge sharpness before starting production.
• Step 4: Print the full job, allowing sufficient drying time after printing. If needed, handle the sheets with care to avoid fingerprint smudges or scuff marks on the matte surface.
