Storing the Printed Photos
When both sides of a print have perforations, you can remove the edges 
by bending them.
Use an oil-based pen to write on prints.
To prevent discoloration, be sure to store the printed photos so that they 
will be protected from humidity, dust, direct sunlight, and temperatures of 
over 40°C (104°F).
Avoid actions that may result in color change, color fading or color 
bleeding, such as the following: Sticking any type of adhesive tape on a print surface, allowing print 
surfaces to come into contact with vinyl or plastic, applying alcohol or other volatile solvents to a 
print surface, leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against other surfaces or objects for prolonged 
periods.
If you wish to mount prints in an album, choose an album with photo covers made of nylon, 
polypropylene or cellophane.
Color may change over time or depending on storage conditions. Canon assumes no liability for color changes.
