Selecting Paper Types - Canon BJC-70 User Manual

Selecting Paper Types

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible
print quality from your bubble jet printer is to select the correct paper.
Your printer produces letter quality output on most plain bond papers,
including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special
ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types.
Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.
Plain Papers
The printer supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait
orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and
typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or
damaged edges.
Coated Papers
The printer can also print on coated paper. The Canon Coated Paper
(LC-101) is recommended for optimum color print quality. It is available in
letter and legal sizes.
Transparencies
Canon Transparencies (CF-102) are recommended. They are available in
letter size.
Back Print Film
Canon Back Print Film (BF-102) has been specially developed for color
printing with Canon color printers. The film is designed to deliver brilliant,
high-intensity color images suitable for business presentations, design
work, or professional reports. Back print film is printed on the back side
(the nonglossy side of the film) in a mirror image and, for best results, is
viewed from the front or glossy side using a backlighting device. For more
details, ask a Canon Authorized Dealer for information or refer to the
manual supplied with the film.
N
If you are printing from an application outside Windows, your software
application or printer driver must support mirror image printing in order
to use back print film.
