Printing on Photographic-Quality Paper (4" x 6")
This section describes how to print Photographic-Quality Color images on Photographic-
Quality Paper. With Photographic-Quality Color printing, you can print continuous-tone
images with the same high quality as photographs. In Photographic-Quality Color print-
ing, you can also print with an overcoat ink that produces a smooth, shiny surface like a
photograph.

Important
Make sure that none of your Photographic-Quality Paper is
warped more than 0.2" / 5 mm. Warped sheets can cause unsat-
isfactory print results.
Each sheet should have a warp of 0.2" / 5 mm or less when placed
on a flat surface.
Important
Always use Photographic-Quality Paper for Photographic-
Quality Color printing. Failure to do so can damage the printer
as well as the cartridge ribbon. Up to 20 sheets of paper can
be loaded into the sheet feeder at once.
Print surfaces that have been overcoated cannot be used for
subsequent printing. If you attempt to do so, the printer may
malfunction.
