•Load the paper with the side that does not have green lines facing up.

•Use mirror printing to print or copy the image onto the T-shirt transfer.

•If the T-shirt transfer is curled, flatten it by curling it in the opposite direction.

General print media guidelines

•Paper types you cannot use Do not use the following:

–Creased print media

–Curled print media

–Wrinkled print media

–Moist print media

–Print media that is too thin (It should be at least 17 lb. or 64 g/m2.)

–Print media that is too thick (It should not be more than 28 lb. or 105 g/m2, except for Canon print media.)

–Print media with holes (e.g. punched holes)

–Postcards with photographs or stickers adhered to them

•Hold the print media as closely as possible to its edges and try not to touch the printing surface. Printing quality will deteriorate if the printing surface is damaged or becomes dirty.

•Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.

•Some print media may curl and the printing surface may smudge if you have used a large amount of ink for printing. If this occurs, move the paper thickness lever to the right. Paper that tends to curl is not recommended for printing photographs or graphics. Use for printing mainly text.

•Do not use print media that is in bad condition ( above). If the print media is curled, uncurl it before printing.

•Place the print media you have not used back into its packet and store out of direct sunlight in a place where temperature and humidity is low.

•Photo Paper Pro guidelines

–Do not touch the printed surface until the ink is fixed (approx. 30 minutes). Colors in dark images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after about 30 minutes.

–Images may smudge if you place them in an album before the ink is completely dry. It is recommended that you allow the ink to dry for 24 hours.

–Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hairdryer or by exposing printed sheets to direct sunlight.

–Do not store or display printouts in hot, damp, or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or direct sunlight.

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

–Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them.

–Be aware that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to turn yellow.
