iPF815/iPF825 Paper Reference Guide (for EU)

This paper reference guide describes the types of paper printable with Canon imagePROGRAF iPF815/iPF825. Before using the printer and paper, read through this guide, the instruction manual supplied with the paper and the printer's User Manual for use in optimal conditions.

> Local Availability of Paper in This Guide This guide includes information for paper sold in EU. Some paper in the guide may not be available locally, depending on your location. > Printer Operations For instructions on loading or cutting paper or other printer operations, refer to the User Manual. > Updating the Paper Reference Guide The Paper Reference Guide is automatically updated when you update the Media Configuration Tool. To download the latest version of the Media Configuration Tool, access the imagePROGRAF website from imagePROGRAF Support Information. If information for paper you have added using the Media Configuration Tool is not included in this guide, refer to the guide specifically for that paper. (→View information for media types you have added) > Genuine Canon Paper The paper types with "†" marked in the product name are those specified as genuine Canon paper. For other paper, please contact the respective paper manufacturer after reading the instruction manuals supplied with the paper. > Handling the Paper Handle all paper carefully and avoid moist environment and contact with water. If the paper will be used in a humid environment, perform lamination or other appropriate treatments after printing. Handle all paper carefully, being careful not to rub or damage it. We recommend wearing gloves when handling paper. Handle paper so as to keep the print surface free of sweat and grease from hands. This may affect the printing quality. After printing, allow ink to dry before handling. We recommend keeping printed documents separate, not stacked, until they are dry. Paper may stretch or shrink from changes in humidity or other environmental factors. Allow ample time for the paper to adjust to the environment before use. After use, remove paper from the printer if environmental changes are expected and store it in the bag. > Loading Rolls Unaligned roll edges, stains and tape marks may lead to faulty paper feeding. If the roll edge is curled, straighten the curled edge before loading the roll. > Precaution when using rolls with significant curling The printed surface of rolls with significant curling of the leading edge may become soiled. Straighten out these rolls before use. If the curling cannot be removed, advance the paper using the printer's control panel until the edge of the roll emerges from the top cover before printing. For printer operating instructions, see the printer's User Manual. > Ejecting Roll Paper Depending on the condition of paper after ejection, ejected sheets may impede ejection of the next sheet or damage other sheets. Remove each sheet after ejection. > If Paper Cannot be Selected If the type of paper loaded cannot be selected on the control panel or in the printer driver, try specifying it as Special 1, Special 2, and so on. Note that higher numbers in this setting enable more vivid colors but may also cause colors to run together. > Cutting Options for Rolls That Take Time for Ink to Dry (Eject Cut) Ink takes longer to dry on paper for which Auto Cutting is labeled "Eject cut" in the Roll Specification section. If you use automatic cutting after printing and the document drops, ink may rub off the printed surface. Support the document after printing as you wait for the printer to cut it. For detailed instructions, refer to the printer's User Manual. > HP-GL/2 Paper types marked with "Yes" in the HP-GL/2 column support HP-GL/2 output. For detailed instructions, refer to the printer's User Manual. > Operating Environment If used in other than the recommended environment, your printer may develop the following problems: Be sure to conduct printing in the recommended operating environment. <Low Humidity Environment> Paper becomes curled or wrinkled. Paper and the printhead are more likely to touch each other, resulting in a scratched print surface or damaged printhead. The cut printed matter sticks to the printer and will not fall down (film media). Paper sticks to the printer, making its transfer impossible and preventing its normal ejection (film media). Uneven printing (film media) <High Humidity Environment> Printed matter will not dry. Wavy paper surface Cut edges are ragged (fabric media). Margins remain due to borderless printing. Print under a humidity of 60% or lower. Plain Paper Suitable for color prints for project presentations or monochrome prints for ceremony programs in schools. Thanks to its low cost, it is also applicable to test printing.
