Storage
• Keep unused photo paper in a resealable plastic bag, in the box in which it was
originally packaged. Store the packaged photo paper on a flat surface in a cool
place.
• When you are ready to print, remove only the paper that you plan to use
immediately from the plastic bag. When you have finished printing, return any
unused photo paper to the plastic bag.
• Do not leave unused photo paper in the printer paper tray. The paper might
start to curl, which can reduce the quality of your photographs.
Handling
• Always hold photo paper by its edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce
print quality.
• If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (3/8 inch), flatten the
paper by putting it in the resealable storage bag, and then rolling the bag on a
table edge until the paper is flat.
Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on.
