| Printing Tips |
Paper Handling
- All single-sided Microsoft Photo papers are included in packages with the printable side facing upward. Please be sure to print on the upward facing side of the sheet only. Unless a sheet is indicated as being two-sided, such as the back of the sheet is not printable.
- Always handle photo paper by the edges - oils from fingers can irreparably damage the printing surface.
- Avoid touching the imaging surface area prior to and after printing.
- Keep photo paper stored in its original packaging after opening.
- Paper and prints should be stored and used in a room temperature range of 65°-80°F and humidity level between 40% and 80%.
Printer Settings
- Set printer to maximum resolution or "best" setting.
- In advanced printer settings or preferences, select the best photo setting available.
- For paper type, choose premium or professional photo paper or other photo paper.
- You may need to experiment with the different paper options listed to obtain optimal print results.
- If a gamma control is offered, lower is better than higher.
Tips for Best Quality
- Perform printer head alignment and cleaning if needed.
- Unless a paper specifically has the indication of instant drying, immediately remove prints from printer when ejected and allow at least 15 minutes to dry.
- In low temperatures and humid climates, prints may take longer to dry.
- Do not stack prints on top of each other directly after printing.
- To extend the life of your prints, avoid excessive exposure to heat, light and moisture.
- Ideally, when displaying prints produced using dye-based inks, they should be placed behind glass or photo-safe acrylic to avoid atmospheric and light color fade.
- Do not stack or store prints with regular photos or plastic film sheets; they could become attached to the printed surface. If using storage sleeves or albums, confirm they are photo safe.
- Carefully store prints in a photo-safe environment to avoid print surface damage and image degradation.
