iPF5100 Paper Reference Guide (for North or South America)

This paper reference guide describes the types of paper printable with Canon imagePROGRAF iPF5100.
Before using the printer and paper, read through this guide, the instruction manual supplied with the paper and the printer's User Manual for use in optimal conditions.

> Local Availability of Paper in This Guide
This guide includes information for paper sold in North or South America.
Some paper in the guide may not be available locally, depending on your location.

> Printer Operations
For instructions on loading or cutting paper or other printer operations, refer to the User Manual.

> Updating the Paper Reference Guide
The Paper Reference Guide is automatically updated when you update the Media Configuration Tool. To download the latest version of the Media Configuration Tool, access the imagePROGRAF website from imagePROGRAF Support Information.

> Genuine Canon Paper
The paper types with "†" marked in the product name are those specified as genuine Canon paper.
For other paper, please contact the respective paper manufacturer after reading the instruction manuals supplied with the paper.

> Handling the Paper
> Loading Rolls
Unaligned roll edges, stains and tape marks may lead to faulty paper feeding.
If the roll edge is curled, straighten the curled edge before loading the roll.

> Ejecting Roll Paper
Depending on the condition of paper after ejection, ejected sheets may impede ejection of the next sheet or damage other sheets. Remove each sheet after ejection.

> Borderless Printing
> If Paper Cannot be Selected
If the type of paper loaded cannot be selected on the control panel or in the printer driver, try specifying paper for which "BK" is indicated in the Black Ink column as a special paper (Special Paper 1 to 5), or try specifying paper for which "MBK" is indicated as Special 6 to Special 10.

> Cutting Options for Rolls That Take Time for Ink to Dry (Eject Cut)
Ink takes longer to dry on paper for which Auto Cutting is labeled "Eject cut" in the Roll Specification section. If you use automatic cutting after printing and the document drops, ink may rub off the printed surface. Support the document after printing as you wait for the printer to cut it.
For detailed instructions, refer to the printer's User Manual.

> Color Calibration
Color calibration is a feature that compensates for changes in color from individual variation among Printheads or from the printing environment, ensuring better color consistency.
Although paper labeled with "No" in the Color Calibration column cannot be used to perform color calibration (that is, to print the patterns for adjustment), the adjustment value from calibration using paper labeled with "Yes" will also be used as the basis for adjustment for these types of paper.
For detailed instructions, refer to the printer's User Manual.

> Operating Environment
If used in other than the recommended environment, your printer may develop the following problems. Be sure to conduct printing in the recommended operating environment.

<Low Humidity Environment (below 40%)>
<High Humidity Environment (over 60%)>

Plain Paper
Suitable for color prints for project presentations or monochrome prints for ceremony programs in schools. Thanks to its low cost, it is also applicable to test printing.
Plain Paper (High Quality) is exceptionally white, heavyweight paper designed for ink-jet printing.

Photo Paper
Having a gloss like photographic paper for silver halide photos, Glossy Photo Paper is suitable for high-definition photo images. This paper is resin-coated, preventing problems from ink absorption and ensuring a flat finish.
Semi-Glossy Photo Paper is glossy white paper less reflective than regular glossy photo paper. The soft finish of this paper is subdued, for minimal glare. Its low reflectivity makes it a good choice for display panels and presentation graphics at exhibitions, or for point-of-purchase displays.
