Follow these guidelines as you handle or store media:
- Read and follow the guidelines provided with each type of
media.
- Do not fold the media or otherwise damage its printable
surface.
- Do not touch the printable surface. This prevents oil from your
hands from causing print quality problems.
- When handling media, hold it by both edges, preferably while
wearing cotton gloves.
- Keep the media dry and avoid storage locations subject to
direct sunlight, excessive heat, and high humidity.
- Retain the media packaging materials so you can use it to store
unused media.
- After printing, do not touch, rub, or scratch the printed
surface to avoid removing the ink.
- Dry printed media completely before folding or stacking it, or
the printed surface may be damaged.
- Keep printed media out of direct sunlight.
- Display and store printed media as instructed in the media
documentation.
- When you are not printing on media, remove it from the printer
and place it in its original packaging to prevent
deterioration.
