iPF650/iPF655 Paper Reference Guide

This paper reference guide describes the types of paper printable with Canon imagePROGRAF iPF650/iPF655.
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.

> 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 updated in the following cases.
To download the Media Configuration Tool and the Media Information File (Media Information File), access the imagePROGRAF website from imagePROGRAF Support Information.
If information for paper you have added using the Media Configuration Tool is not included in this guide, refer to the guide specifically for that paper. (→View information for media types you have added)

> About Canon genuine paper and Canon feed confirmed paper
Canon genuine paper and Canon feed confirmed paper are included in the types of paper described in the Paper Reference Guide.
The paper types with "†" marked in the product name column are those specified as Canon genuine paper.
The paper types with "†" not marked in the product name column are those specified as Canon feed confirmed paper. Canon feed confirmed paper is paper for which Canon performed a standardized evaluation and confirmed paper feeding on iPF650/iPF655. However, Canon does not guarantee that product and quality. About the paper except the Canon genuine paper, please contact the respective paper manufacturer after reading the instruction manuals supplied with the paper.

> Handling the Paper

> About the use of roll paper for which the rear edge of the paper does not separate from the paper core
When printing on roll paper that is not Canon genuine paper or Canon feed confirmed paper, the rear edge of the paper may not separate from the paper core if you use the roll paper until the rear edge, resulting in a paper feed failure.
We recommend that you confirm the specifications with the paper maker before purchasing 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.

> Paper that can be used with the output stacker supplied with the stand in the extended position

Paper type
Paper size
Plain Paper
24 in., A1
The output stacker should be used in the regular position for paper other than those listed above.
Refer to the printer's User Manual for detailed information on using the output stacker.

> 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 it as Special 1, Special 2, and so on. Note that higher numbers in this setting enable more vivid colors but may also cause colors to run together.

> 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.

> HP-GL/2
Paper types marked with "Yes" in the HP-GL/2 column support HP-GL/2 output.
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>
<High Humidity Environment>

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.

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.

Proofing
Proofing paper supports the color reproduction gamut for proof offset printing, providing color comparable to a print finish. It is best suited for color proofing print for printing tasks.
Newsprint for proofing offers a look and feel close to newsprint and supports a wide color reproduction gamut.
Thanks to its low cost, it is also applicable to test printing.
