Choosing General-Purpose Paper Settings
Since these settings anticipate a wide variety of paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper,
these settings will make it difficult for bleeding ink and the printhead rubbing to occur. Refer to the following table
for the relationships between the conditions of the paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed pa-
per and the media type to select.
Type Approximate weight Approximate thickness
Plain Paper 70 g/m²
Coated Paper 90 g/m²
170 g/m²
Photo Paper 180 g/m²

*1:Print using slightly less ink. Try this if you are concerned about rubbing of ink after printing.
*2:Software RIP is required separately.
Selecting Special Settings
Special settings are provided that allow you to select the amount of ink used in steps. You can fix lackluster colors
or bleeding ink by selecting special settings where the amount of ink used is suitable for the paper you are using.
"Special 1" uses the least amount of ink, with the amount of ink used increasing through 5 steps as the number
increases up to "Special 5" which uses the greatest amount of ink. Although colors become more vivid as the
amount of ink used increases, bleeding also occurs more easily. We recommend that you try in order starting from
"Special 1" while checking the state of the printing.
