Handling Your Media
 Handle film and glossy media by the edges or wear cotton gloves. Skin oils can be transferred to the media
leaving finger print marks.
 Although the ink systems supplied with this printer have good lightfastness, colors will eventually fade or
change if exposed to sunlight over a long period of time.
 Rewrap partially used rolls if they are not being used and do not stack rolls.
 Always keep unused rolls wrapped in the plastic wrap to prevent discoloration.
 Keep the media tightly wound on the roll throughout the loading and unloading procedures. If the media starts
to unwind, it can become difficult to handle.
