157 g/m

After printing, some types of paper take longer than others to dry. With duplex printing, the ink may
smear or rub off. Using the printer driver, specify how long to wait for the prints to dry between print-
ing each side of a duplex sheet. For details, see the printer driver Help.
Inkjet plain paper
z
When printing on inkjet plain paper, in the printer properties dialog box, click [Inkjet Plain Paper]. This
allows printing at higher quality.

In the printer properties dialog box, when [Inkjet Plain Paper] is selected, only one-sided printing is
possible. To print on both sides of a sheet, click [Plain].

Use as soon as possible after opening the package.
Glossy paper

The glossy side (or the pearl side) of the paper is the printing surface.

sheet, like copy paper, between prints.
