Caring for Your Photographs
The Canon i960 Photo Printer will generate spectacular results for printing
photographs, especially when used with Canon specialty media. All images are
susceptible to fading over time, but proper care of prints made from your i960 Photo
Printer will ensure that print quality lasts long into the future.
Many environmental factors can impact how long a printout will last before noticeable
image fading occurs. Exposure to sunlight or other light sources, humidity,
temperature, exposure to cigarette smoke and ozone are just some of the factors that
can impact image permanence. While many of these variables cannot be controlled,
there are basic measures that you can take to prolong image quality:
• Use Canon Photo Paper Pro and genuine Canon inks. Try Canon Photo Paper Pro or
Canon Photo Paper Pro for Borderless Printing (4"×6"). Both papers are specifically
designed to work with genuine Canon inks.
• Mount images under glass to reduce exposure to ozone, cigarette smoke and other
environmental factors that can degrade images.
• Keep printed images out of direct sunlight or other intense light sources.
