before storing them.

❍ When your output 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 output in a clear file or plastic
holder.

❍ When loading transparencies or back print film, insert one sheet of

plain paper as the last sheet in the stack.

❍ Do not leave sheets of 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 fingerprints, use a pair of thin cloth

gloves while loading and handling film sheets.

❍ To avoid fading, do not expose printed film to prolonged sunlight.

❍ Store unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers from their

protective packaging until you are ready to use them.

❍ Store unused film at temperatures between 59° F to 86° F (15° C to

30° C). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
