Printed Surface Is Scratched/Paper Is Smudged

When printing data with high color
saturation such as photographs or
images in deep color, we recommend
using Photo Paper Pro or other Canon
specialty paper. See
Cannot Use.
Make sure that the Media Type set in
the Main sheet of the printer driver
(Windows) or the Quality & Media in
the pop-up menu of the Print dialog box
(Macintosh) matches the type of the
loaded printing paper.
Set the Print Quality setting to High in
Windows or Fine in Macintosh.
This will reduce blurs even when
printing images with plenty of adjacent
contrasting colors.
