Film HG- 101, Glossy Photo Paper GP-201, or similar products. The printer will
produce even more vivid colors with these media. When printing on High Gloss Film
or Glossy Paper, print on the glossy side only.
z For overhead presentations, use Transparencies CF- 102. Do not use copier transparencies as
they cannot absorb the ink.
z If back-lighting is available for your presentation, you can use Back Print Film BF-102. This
print medium is a mylar translucent sheet on which colors appear very vivid when shown with
a back-lighting device.
z To print color designs and patterns on cloth, use Canon Fabric Sheet FS- 101. Use your
favorite software to produce an original design then print the design on the fabric sheet. Create
materials for pillows, gift bags, stuffed animals, hand puppets, appliques and so on.
z You can also produce original designs on T-Shirt Transfer TR-20 1 (TR-101 in the U.S.) and
transfer them with a hot iron to cotton or cotton-polyester blend T-shirts.
z For envelopes, use European DL size (220 x 110 mm) or U.S. Commercial 10 (241 x 105 mm
(9.5 x 4.1 inches)).
z When you use special print media, make sure that you always print on the correct side. For
details, refer to the table for loading special media. (p42)

black, and white.

using different color patterns.
