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 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, letter plus, legal, A4, and A4 plus 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. Copier paper has a preferred side for printing. Look at the label on the package to see which side to print on first.

High Gloss Photo Film

The Canon High Gloss Photo Film HG-201 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. When printing on this film, use the BC-62 Photo BJ Cartridge and select High Gloss Film in the printer driver

Glossy Photo Paper

Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-201 is a high gloss, thicker paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph. Use this paper with the BC-62 Photo BJ Cartridge to produce top-quality photo-realistic prints from your printer. On your printer driver, select Glossy Paper when you have Glossy Photo Paper loaded.
