Canon BJC-250 user manual Selecting Paper Types

Selecting Paper Types

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible performance of your Bubble Jet printer is to select the correct paper. Your printer produces letter quality print on most plain paper bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.

Plain Paper

The printer supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges.

Glossy Photo Paper

Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-201 is a high gloss, thicker paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph and provides excellent color print quality. Use this paper with the BC-06 Photo BJ Cartridge to produce photo-realistic prints from your printer. Be sure to print on the glossy side. (In your print driver, select Glossy Paper when you have Glossy Photo Paper loaded.)
