Canon BJC-8500 - Manual (Page 58)

The Ink Optimizer Tank BCI-8WF, mounted in the left slot of the left
BJ Cartridge, contains a special liquid called an ink optimizer, a new
additive which makes the printed image extremely smear resistant
and water resistant. Please remember that the ink optimizer is used
only when printing on Plain Paper and is not used for printing on
special media, or for printing on Plain Paper in draft mode.
Whatever kind of media you decide to use, make sure you observe these
general guidelines regarding handling and storing:
■ Always handle special print media by the edges, and never touch the
print surface. A scratched or dirty media surface can cause deterioration
in print quality.
■ After opening a package of special print media, store the unused sheets in
the original packaging on a flat, clean surface in a location that is not
exposed to direct sunlight, dust, high temperature, or high humidity.
■ To ensure the best print quality and to avoid paper jams, never attempt to
print on paper that is folded, or curled.
■ Before you load a stack of paper, always fan the sheets to reduce static
cling then stack the paper again so all the edges are even.
