Printing on Back Print Film

Printing on Back Print Film

This section explains the steps for printing illustrations and photographs on back print film. Attaching printed back print film to paper with an iron gives the final image a glossy finish like a photograph. Also, a finishing sheet that can be used to create a matte (non- glossy) finish is included.

Note

∙Back print film printing is basically the same as normal color printing. However, special sheets are used in place of paper. Hold the sheets by the edge when inserting them into the printer to avoid touching the printing side.

∙Images printed on back print film should only be transferred to white paper. Colored paper may affect the colors of the printed image.

Insert in this direction

Silicon coated

side

The back print film sheets, the finishing sheets, and the matte finishing sheet come together in a single package of Back Print Film (Part No. 106080-00).

∙Paper to transfer the image to :

We recommend High Grade Paper (Letter / A4 size) (Part No. 106085-00 / 106085-00-EU).

Plain paper may be used but, depending on the pattern of the image, the image may pick up the unevenness in the paper and appear rough. Also, glossy paper traps pockets of air and does not work well.

∙Ink cartridges

The following ink cartridges may be used. Cyan ink cartridge (Part No. 106020-00) Magenta ink cartridge (Part No. 106015-00) Yellow ink cartridge (Part No. 106010-00) Black ink cartridge (Part No. 106005-00) White ink cartridge (Part No. 106050-00)

∙Iron

Use an ordinary household iron. Do not use steam. Set the iron to Dry.
