1 Introduction
Wrinkles in the substrate can cause printhead crashes. The hold-down plate is a device to prevent such wrinkles
from entering the print zone.
The occurrence of wrinkles may vary from one roll to another; they can be caused by the manufacturing process
or the bagginess of the substrate.
HP recommends using the hold-down plate for the following substrate types, especially with wide rolls:
● PVC banner
● Paper
● Canvas
● Others
