When printing on thick cardstock, getting the pressure roller settings right is essential to avoid jams, poor ink adhesion, or damage to your printer. Thick paper requires more force to feed properly through the rollers, but over-tightening can warp or dent the material. Start by checking your printer’s manual for recommended settings for cardstock, as different models have varying capabilities.

Begin with the manufacturer’s suggested pressure setting for heavy paper. If your model includes a thick paper mode, use it. Roller engagement is calibrated by the firmware. For غلطک پرس پرینتر models without auto-adjust, find the tension control dial or slider, usually located inside the paper tray area. Turn it slightly clockwise to increase pressure, or twist left to reduce tension.

Run a test page on the same media you’ll print on. Monitor the paper’s movement through the rollers. If the cardstock gets stuck or feeds crookedly, the pressure may be too high or too low. If the paper feeds smoothly but the print appears smudged or incomplete, the pressure needs to be increased for better adhesion. Increase pressure in small increments and test again.

Never exceed recommended pressure limits. Excessive pressure can cause the paper to tear. Roller ridges might transfer onto the surface, or strain the printer’s motor. Properly adjusted rollers grip firmly without dragging. Keep the stack within manufacturer guidelines. Make sure the paper is square and flush. Grease, lint, or residue impairs traction. Use a specialized roller cleaning kit if available.

Save your adjustment as a custom profile. Each stock type may need unique tension. Maintain a print journal. Consistent care ensures long-term reliability. Guarantee sharp, flawless output on heavy stocks.
