Storage

Keep unused photo paper in a plastic bag. 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 paper tray. The paper might start to curl,
which can reduce the quality of the photos.

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 (0.4 inch), flatten the paper
by putting it in the storage bag, and then gently bending it in the opposite direction
of the curl until the paper lies flat.
Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on.
