Using Canon’s Specialty Papers

This section provides guidelines for printing on Canon’s Specialty Papers and describes special procedures required for High Resolution Paper, Fabric Sheets, and Banner Paper.

Specialty Paper Guidelines

NBe 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.

Follow these guidelines:

❍When automatically feeding transparencies or back print film, remove each sheet after it is delivered. Do not allow film sheets to stack up.

❍Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them.

Media 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 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.
