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.

Paper type	Drying time
Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-210	10 minutes
Canon Fabric Sheet FS-101	1 Hour
Canon CF-102 Transparencies	15 minutes
Canon Back Print Film BF-102	15 minutes

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%.
