How to use

Load the photo paper glossy-side up as indicated by your printer’s manual and select the appropriate media type or photo paper setting in the printer driver. Allow prints to dry fully before stacking or handling to avoid smudging; drying time varies by ink type and printer model. For best results, use original or high-quality ink cartridges and set the printer to a high-resolution photo mode. Store unused sheets flat in their original packaging or in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption and curling.

Recommendations

For optimal image quality, calibrate your printer color profile to the paper type when possible, and avoid touching the printed surface until it is completely dry. When framing, use acid-free mounts and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve color fidelity.
