Tips for Optimal Print Quality
- Loading the paper
» Avoid touching or scratching the glossy surface of the unprinted paper to prevent smudges, marks, or oil damage from your skin. - Printing photos
» Use Lexmark PerfectFinish paper at the following conditions: 20-30° C (68-86° F) and 30-70% relative humidity. For best results, use this paper at 20-25° C (68-77° F) and 40-60% relative humidity.
» To prevent smudging or scratching, avoid touching the printed surface with your fingers or sharp objects.
» For best results, remove each printed sheet individually from the paper exit tray, and allow the prints to dry at least 24 hours before stacking, displaying, or storing. - Storing and displaying photos
» Allow photos to dry at least 24 hours before stacking, displaying, or storing.
» Display or store indoors avoiding moisture, direct sunlight, bright lights, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.

* Longevity claims are based on accelerated fade resistance testing of photos displayed indoors, under glass or in photo albums. Actual resistance to fading will vary based upon factors such as light intensity and type, humidity, temperature, air quality, drying time, glass, matting, album materials, print media and image. Lexmark does not warrant longevity or archivability of prints
