Photo paper types and sizes

For best photo print results using Color and Photo print cartridges, use photo paper designed for an inkjet printer, such as the following:

Type	Size		Part number

Photo paper	Letter	(20-pack)	1372481
	A4	(20-pack)	1372208
*	4x6 cards	(20-pack)	12A0074

*You can purchase other excellent photo papers in both snapshot sizes (4x6, A6, Hagaki) and letter sizes. Since the quality of photo paper varies widely, you should test the print quality before buying large quantities of paper.

Do not use photo paper designed for copiers, laser printers, or pen plotters.

For best results:

•Handle only on the edges. Do not touch the side being printed on.

•Store unused paper in the original packaging.

•Do not store in excessively hot or humid areas.

•Feed photo paper one sheet at a time.

•Be careful not to touch the printed surface until the ink is dry.

•If you are printing several sheets, remove each sheet as it exits the printer and allow it to dry before stacking.

•Cover the printed area with plain paper when storing.
