Caring for your Photographs
The Canon S800 photo printer will generate spectacular results for printing
photographs, especially when used with Canon specialty media. All images are
susceptible to fading over time, but proper care of prints made from your S800
photo printer will insure that print quality lasts long into the future.
There are many environmental factors that impact how long a printout will last
before noticeable image fading occurs. Exposure to sunlight or other light
sources, humidity, temperature, exposure to cigarette smoke and ozone are just
some of the factors that can impact image permanence. While many of these
variables cannot be controlled, there are basic measures that you can take to
prolong image quality:
•
Use Canon Photo Paper Pro and genuine Canon inks. Canon Photo Paper Pro
is available in both letter size (8 ½
"
x 11
"
) and photo size (4
"
x 6
"
), and is
specifically designed to work with genuine Canon inks.
•
Mount images under glass to reduce exposure to ozone, cigarette smoke and
other environmental factors that can degrade images.
•
Keep printed images out of direct sunlight or other intense light sources.
