Selecting the print media

3

The correct choice of media is particularly important for colour printing.

The Canon BJC-55 Series is capable of printing not only on plain paper, but also on envelopes, transparencies, and other media. Please use the following guidelines when selecting a print media for your documents.

Plain copier paper provides good results, and paper with cotton fibre is also suitable for colour printing.

For important presentations or documents that include intensive graphics and colour, use High Resolution Paper HR-101, High Gloss Film HG-101, Glossy Photo Paper GP-301, or similar products. The printer will produce even more vivid colours with these media. When printing on High Gloss Film or Glossy Photo Paper, print on the glossy side only.

Before printing on High Gloss Film HG-101 or Back Print Film BF- 102, set one sheet of plain paper in front of the printer where the printed film will be ejected. This insulates the ejected sheet from the build-up of static electricity between the surface of the desk or work table under the printer and the film. A static charge could jam the film and prevent it from ejecting correctly.

Use Glossy Photo Cards FM-101 when creating photo greeting cards. This media allows you to make beautiful, borderless cards. When printing on this media, be sure to print on the side with the glossy finish.

For overhead presentations, use Transparencies CF-102. Do not use
