User Manual
Before You Begin:
- Store Properly: Keep paper in a cool, dry place. Avoid high humidity or direct sunlight.
- Handle with Care: Always hold by the edges to prevent fingerprints or oils from transferring onto the surface.
- Printer Settings: For best results, select “Photo Paper (Semi-Gloss or Glossy)” in your printer driver settings.
- Test First: Print a small test image to verify color balance and ink density before full production.
Printing Process:
- Load the paper print side up (the smoother, shinier side) into your printer’s tray.
- Adjust printer margins or border settings as needed.
- Use high-resolution mode for maximum detail.
- Allow prints to dry for at least 10 minutes before handling or stacking.
- For long-term storage or display, use acid-free sleeves or UV-protective glass.
Installation (Printing) Process
Unlike hardware installation, using semi-gloss paper is about precision and care during printing.
Here’s the step-by-step guide to achieving a flawless output:
- Check Printer Condition: Ensure the ink cartridges are full and print heads are clean.
- Load Correctly: Insert one sheet at a time (especially in rear-fed printers) to avoid double-feeding.
- Set Media Type: On your printer’s control panel or software, select “Photo Paper – Semi-Gloss” or the closest option.
- Color Management: If using professional editing software (like Photoshop or Lightroom), enable ICC color profiles for the most accurate color rendering.
- Print & Inspect: Once the print is complete, allow it to rest flat until fully dry. Avoid stacking fresh prints immediately.
- Mount or Frame: For presentation, mount your photos on acid-free backing boards or frame under anti-reflective glass.
