iPF650/iPF655 Paper Reference Guide (for North or South America)

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.

> 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 updated in the following cases. When the Media Configuration Tool is installed and started. When the Media Configuration Tool is used and the Media Information File (Media Information File) is registered. 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 Handle all paper carefully and avoid moist environment and contact with water. If the paper will be used in a humid environment, perform lamination or other appropriate treatments after printing. Handle all paper carefully, being careful not to rub or damage it. We recommend wearing gloves when handling paper. Handle paper so as to keep the print surface free of sweat and grease from hands. This may affect the printing quality. After printing, allow ink to dry before handling. We recommend keeping printed documents separate, not stacked, until they are dry. Paper may stretch or shrink from changes in humidity or other environmental factors. Allow ample time for the paper to adjust to the environment before use. After use, remove paper from the printer if environmental changes are expected and store it in the bag. > 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> Paper becomes curled or wrinkled. Paper and the printhead are more likely to touch each other, resulting in a scratched print surface or damaged printhead. The cut printed matter sticks to the printer and will not fall down (film media). Paper sticks to the printer, making its transfer impossible and preventing its normal ejection (film media). Uneven printing (film media) <High Humidity Environment> Printed matter will not dry. Wavy paper surface Cut edges are ragged (fabric media). Margins remain due to borderless printing. Print under a humidity of 60% or lower. 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.

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.

Do not touch the print surface or stack sheets before ink dries. If the ink does not dry easily, set Roll DryingTime to about a minute. If large amounts of ink are absorbed, the paper may curl. If the printed surface touches the paper delivery slot, resulting in paper damage or soiling, set the Scan Wait Time in the Control Panel menu. (This will slow down printing since the printer waits for the ink to dry while printing.)
