Printing with a color BJ Cartridge

The benefits of color printing

Color printing enables you to create documents that are easier to understand, particularly if you are
using colored graphs for a presentation.

Selecting the print media

The correct choice of media is particularly important for color printing.

The Canon BJC-50 is capable of printing not only on plain paper, but also on envelopes,
transparencies, and other media. Please use the following guidelines when selecting a print media for
your documents.

Plain copier paper provides good results, and paper with cotton fibre is also suitable for color

printing.

For important presentations or documents that include intensive graphics and color, use High

Resolution Paper HR-l01, High Gloss
