Specialty Print Media Guidelines
n
Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon specialty print media, as these
provide important information on how to achieve the highest print quality.
Follow these guidelines:
• When feeding transparencies or back print film, remove each sheet after it is
delivered, being careful not to touch any surfaces. Do not allow film sheets to stack
up in the output tray.
• Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them.
Drying time:
–Canon High Gloss Film HG-101, Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-301: 10 minutes
–Canon Transparencies CF-102, Canon Back Print Film BF-102: 15 minutes
–Canon Fabric Sheet FS-101: 1 hour
• When your printed sheets of film have
dried completely, cover the printed sides
with a sheet of plain (not coated) paper
before storing. This is recommended even if
you place the sheets 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 film in the multi-purpose tray 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.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed film to prolonged sunlight.
• Store all print media flat. Do not remove them from their protective packaging until
you are ready to use them.
• Store unused film at temperatures between 15° and 30°C. The relative humidity
should be between 10% and 70%.
