Paper Handling
❍ Allow the printed sheets of film, paper, or fabric to dry completely
before storing them.

Canon High Gloss Photo Film 10 minutes

Canon Back Print Film 15 minutes
Canon Transparencies 15 minutes
❍ When your output has dried completely, cover its printed side
with a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing it; this is
recommended even if you place the output in a clear file or plastic
holder.
❍ When loading transparencies or back print film, insert one sheet of
plain paper as the last sheet in the stack.
❍ Do not leave sheets of film in the sheet feeder for long periods of
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on the film resulting in spotty
printing.
❍ To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, use a pair of thin cloth
gloves while loading and handling film sheets.
❍ To avoid fading, do not expose printed film to prolonged sunlight.
❍ Store unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers from their
protective packaging until you are ready to use them.
❍ Store unused film at temperatures between 59° F to 86° F (15° C to
30° C). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
