Back Print Film

Canon Back Print Film BF-102 has been specially developed for Canon Color Bubble Jet printers. The film is designed to deliver brilliant, high- intensity color images suitable for business presentations, design work, or professional reports. Back print film is printed on the back (non- glossy) side of the film in mirror image and then viewed from the front or glossy side using a backlighting device.

High Gloss Film

The Canon High Gloss Film HG-101 features a bright white finish that lends striking visual power to charts, graphs, and photographic images. Use this film to make your presentation materials and graphics look professional.

NIf you are printing in an application outside Windows, your software application or printer driver must support mirror image printing in order to use Back Print Film or T-Shirt Transfers.

Paper Guidelines

When selecting or loading paper, please remember the following:

❍Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

❍Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.

❍When using graph paper, the lines may not match because the 1/6-inch line spacing of the printer is slightly less than that of graph paper.

❍If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may curl slightly due to the large amount of ink. If you need to print dense graphics, try printing on heavier stock.

❍Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this printer. Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles may damage the BJ cartridge.

❍When printing on legal size paper (or larger), do not extend the paper output tray.
