maintain the quality of your photo paper
To ensure high-quality prints, it is important to maintain the quality of your photo
paper by storing and handling it properly.
store the photo paper
Keep unused photo paper in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic
bag. Store the packaged photo paper on a flat surface in a cool, dry place.
When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use
immediately. When you are finished printing, return any unused photo paper to
the plastic bag.
Note: Do not leave unused paper in the printer’s paper tray. The paper may
start to curl, which may reduce the quality of your photographs. Photo paper
should be flat before printing. For information about flattening curled paper,
see the next section.
handle photo paper
Always hold photo paper by the edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce
print quality.
If the corners of the photo paper curl, place the paper in a resealable plastic bag
and gently bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.
