Notes on the Use of Custom Paper

When you add custom paper to a printer, keep the following points in mind.

Print Quality

If lines are warped or scratched, lower the setting in the Paper Thickness (Head Height) on the Advanced Paper Settings sheet in the Edit Custom Paper dialog box.
If horizontal stripes with different color tones appear in the printed material, adjust the paper feed on the Paper Feed Adjustment sheet in the Edit Custom Paper dialog box.
If you cannot obtain sufficiently high print quality, change the media type that is the basis of the custom paper.
If you use glossy photo paper or glossy paper, select a paper that uses photo ink for black ink as the paper used as the basis for the custom paper.

The types of black ink used are displayed on the right side of each media type in the Create Custom Paper dialog box.

Note

For details on print quality problems, see "Print Results Are Unsatisfactory" for your model from the Home of the Online Manual.

To increase the precision of the calibration target, we recommend executing Common Calibration using Canon genuine paper in advance.
