Using Canon Specialty Print Media

Specialty Print Media Guidelines

n Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon specialty print media, as these provide
important information on how to achieve the highest print quality.
Follow these guidelines:
• When feeding transparencies or back print film, remove each sheet after it is delivered,
being careful not to touch any surfaces. Do not allow film sheets to stack up in the output
tray.
• Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them.
Drying time:
– Canon High Gloss Film HG-101, Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-301: 10 minutes
– Canon Transparencies CF-102, Canon Back Print Film BF-102: 15 minutes
– Canon Fabric Sheet FS-101: 1 hour
• When your printed sheets of film have dried
completely, cover the printed sides with a sheet
of plain (not coated) paper before storing. This is
recommended even if you place the sheets in a
clear file or plastic holder.
• When loading transparencies or back print film, insert one sheet of plain paper as the last
sheet in the stack.
• Do not leave film in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may
accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while loading and
handling film.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed film to prolonged sunlight.
• Store all print media flat. Do not remove them from their protective packaging until you are
ready to use them.
• Store unused film at temperatures between 15° and 30°C. The relative humidity should be
between 10% and 70%.
