zPhoto Paper Pro Guidelines

zDo not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approximately 30 minutes). Colors in dark images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approximately 30 minutes.

zImages may become smudged if you place printouts in an album before the ink is completely dry. We recommend to allow the ink to dry for 24 hours before placing your printouts in an album.

zDo not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight.

zDo not store or display printouts in hot or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or direct sunlight.

zStore printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from direct exposure to air or sunlight.

zDo not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them. Note that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to turn yellow.
