General Paper Guidelines
a. Paper Types You Cannot Use
- Folded, creased, curled, or wrinkled paper
- Envelopes with double flaps, or with pressure seals
- Moist paper
- Paper with holes (e.g. punched holes)
- Very thin paper (less than 17 lb. or 64 g/m2)
- Very thick paper (more than 28 lb. or 105 g/m2) other than Canon genuine paper
- Postcards with photographs or stickers adhered to them
- Envelopes made with embossed or treated surfaces
b. Handling Paper
- Hold the paper as closely as possible to its edges and try not to touch the print surface. Print quality will deteriorate if the print surface is damaged or becomes dirty.- Do not touch the print surface until the ink has dried.
- Some paper may curl and the print surface may smudge if you have used a large amount of ink for printing. Paper that tends to curl is not recommended for printing photographs or graphics. Use it for printing mainly text.
- If the paper is curled, uncurl it before printing.
- Place the paper back into its packet when not using it, and store out of direct sunlight in a place where the temperature and humidity are low.
c. Photo Paper Pro Guidelines:
- Do not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approx. 30 minutes). Colors in dark images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approx. 30 minutes.
- Images may smudge if you place them in an album before the ink is completely dry. It is recommended that you allow the ink to dry for 24 hours.
- Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight.
- Do not store or display printouts in hot, damp, or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or direct sunlight.
- Store printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from direct exposure to air or sunlight.
- Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them.
- Be aware that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to turn yellow.
