To handle printed sheets of High Gloss Photo Film
■ If you are printing sheets with ink of especially high density, never touch
the printed surface until it is thoroughly dry.

exposing printed sheets to direct sunlight. To store printed sheets for a
long period, cover the printed side of each sheet with one sheet of Plain
Paper and store flat or in a plastic folder.
