Specialty Paper Guidelines Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon Specialty Paper. These instructions provide important information regarding how to achieve the highest print quality with these papers. For transparency film, back print film, high gloss film, and glossy photo paper, follow these guidelines When automatically feeding transparencies or back print film, remove each sheet after it is delivered. Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them. Paper Type Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-210 Canon Fabric Sheet FS-101 Canon CF-102 Transparencies Canon Back Print Film BF-102 Drying time 10 minutes 1 hour 15 minutes 15 minutes When a sheet of film has dried completely, cover its printed side with a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing it; this is recommended even if you place the sheets of film in a clear file or plastic holder. 4300 Chapter 3 Page 17 Do not leave the film in the sheet feeder for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing. To avoid smudging caused by finger prints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while handling the film. To avoid fading, do not expose the printed film to prolonged sunlight. Store unused film at temperatures between 59ºF to 86ºF (15ºC to 30ºC). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%. Uncurling Back Print Film If Back Print Film becomes curled, follow these steps to uncurl it: 1 Cover the non-glossy side of the film with a sheet of plain paper. 2 Roll the film and paper up in the direction opposite the curl. Do not roll the film too tight. Start the print operation from your Windows application. 4300 Chapter 3 Page 23 4 Set up the BJC-4100 Printer Driver for Windows. Dry and then wash the fabric sheet. Let the printed fabric sheet set for about one hour to allow the ink to completely dry. When dry, peel the film backing from the printed fabric sheet. Do not remove the film backing before printing. Wash the printed fabric sheet for about three minutes under lukewarm running water to remove extra ink. Hang the fabric sheet up to dry it again. Iron the dried fabric sheet with a clothes iron. See the booklet that comes with Fabric Sheet FS-101 for details on drying and washing. Printing on Banner Paper For best results, use Canon Banner Paper. To set up a print job on banner paper, you must decide on the number of sheets you need. You can print banners from 2 to 6 sheets in length. Always leave an extra sheet at the end of the banner- just in case the type runs over. The shaded portions of the drawing below illustrate the maximum recommended printing area of banner paper. 4300 Chapter 3 Page 24 Printing on banner paper requires quite a bit of ink. If you think your BJ cartridge may run out of ink, use a new BJ cartridge. [. . . ] The printer is now ready for printing. If you are printing high density graphics when a paper jam occurs, feed at least two sheets of paper through the printer to clean the rollers.
