Specialty Paper Guidelines• Read all instructions that come with special paper for important
information regarding how to achieve the highest print quality.
• It is recommended to feed one sheet at a time for special paper types,
specially T-shirt transfer.
• For transparency film and glossy photo paper, follow these guidelines:
- Let printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing.
- When a sheet of film has dried completely, cover its printed side with
a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing; This is
recommended even if placed in a clear file or plastic holder.
- Do not leave the film in the paper tray for long periods of time as
dust and dirt may accumulate, resulting in poor copy quality.
- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed film to prolonged direct
sunlight.
- Store unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers from their
protective packaging until ready for use.
- Store unused film at temperatures between 59oF to 86oF (15oC to 30
oC). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
• If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may
curl slightly due to the large amount of ink. To print dense graphics,
try printing on heavier stock.
• Do not use paper that is thicker than the specifications as contact with
the print head nozzles may damage the cartridge.
