General print media guidelines
• Print media you cannot use:
–Folded print media
–Curled print media
–Creased print media
–Moist print media
–Very thin print media (less than 17 lb. or 64 g/m
2
)
–Very thick print media (more than 28 lb. or 105 g/m
2
)
–Print media with holes (e.g. punched holed)
–Envelopes with double flaps
–Envelopes with pressure seals
–Envelopes made with embossed or treated surfaces
• Hold the print media as closely as possible to its edges and try not to touch the printing
surface. Printing quality will deteriorate if the printing surface is damaged or becomes dirty.
• Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
• Some print media may curl and the printing surface may smudge if you have used a large
amount of ink for printing. If this occurs, move the paper thickness lever to the right ( p. 3-5).
Paper that tends to curl is not recommended for printing photographs or graphics. Use for
printing mainly text.
• Do not use print media that is in bad condition ( above). If the print media is curled, uncurl
it before printing.
• Place the print media you have not used back into its packet and store out of direct sunlight
in a place where temperature and humidity is low.
• Photo Paper Pro guidelines:
–Do not touch the printed surface until the ink is fixed (approx. 30 minutes). Colors in dark
images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after about 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 hairdryer or by exposing printed sheets to direct
sunlight.
