Selecting the Print Media

You need to determine how the printed material will be used when you plan its layout and when you

select the print media.

Each project you work on will have unique requirements. The way you use color and select the print

media is critical in achieving an impressive visual impact.

Print Media Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to select a print medium appropriate for the print job:

Plain copier paper provides good results, and paper with cotton fiber is also suitable for color

printing even at 720x720 dpi.

For important presentations or documents that include intensive graphics and color, use Canon's

coated paper, LC-101, or a similar product. On this type of paper, the printer will produce been

more vivid colors. When printing on coated paper, print on the whiter side only.

For photographic images printed at a high resolution of 720x720, use Canon's High Gloss Film,

(HG-101), or High Resolution Paper, (HR-101). Use high gloss when you want the image to retain

the glossy texture and look of a photograph.

For overhead presentations, use Canon's transparencies, CF-102, or an equivalent transparency film

designed for ink jet printing. Normal copier transparencies cannot absorb the ink and will run; do

not use them.

If backlighting is available for your presentation, you can use back print film. This print media is a

mylar-based translucent sheet on which colors and photographic images appear very vivid when

shown with a backlighting device. When using this film, print on the side of sheet that less smooth

and less shiny.

For high quality,water-resistant printing where water spills may cause smearing or running, use

BubbleJet paper.

For printing on textiles to create pillow covers, handkerchiefs, and more, use fabric sheets

(FS-101).
