Using Canon's Specialty Papers
This section provides guidelines for printing on Canon's Specialty Papers and describes
special procedures for High Resolution Paper, Fabric Sheets, and Banner Paper.
Specialty Paper Guidelines
Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon Specialty Paper. These
instructions provide important information regarding how to achieve the highest print
quality with these papers.
For transparency film, back print film, high gloss film, and glossy film, and glossy photo
paper, follow these guidelines:
When automatically feeding transparencies or back print film, remove each sheet
after its delivered. Do not allow film sheets to stack up.
Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them.

When selecting a sheet of film 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 sheets of film in a clear file or plastic holder.
Do not leave the 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 finger prints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while
loading and handling the film.
To avoid fading, do not expose the 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%.
