Tips & Warnings
After printing your photos, let the printed pages dry for 10 minutes before handling the paper or reinserting the photo in the printer for additional printing.
Store your picture paper in a cool, dry place in its original package or wrapped in butcher paper.
Do not overload your printer with more than 10 sheets of picture paper---this can lead to the printer pulling through two or more sheets of paper and jamming.
