Do not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approx. 30 minutes). Colors in dark images 
may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approx. 30 minutes.

Images may smudge if you place them in an album before the ink is completely dry. It is 
recommended that you allow the ink to dry for 24 hours.
z
Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight.
z
Do not store or display printouts in hot, damp, or humid conditions. Never expose them to 
heat or direct sunlight.

Store printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from 
direct exposure to air or sunlight.

Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them.

This film is ideal for printing 
presentation material for use with 
overhead projectors.
Load one sheet of plain paper as 
the last sheet in the stack.
Although you can print on either side 
of the transparencies, best results 
can be obtained by printing on the 
side that curls when held by the edge.
Remove each sheet from the Paper 
Output Tray as soon as it is printed.
Do not touch the printed surface or 
stack the transparencies until the 
ink has dried.
If you are storing the 
transparencies for a long period of 
time, cover the printed sides with 
plain paper before storing.
