DO I NEED TO PREPARE MY PRINTER IN ANY PARTICULAR WAY TO USE HARMAN INKJET PAPER?

I USE THIRD-PARTY INKS IN MY PRINTER. WILL I OBTAIN GOOD PRINTS WITH HARMAN INKJET PAPER?

We cannot guarantee the performance of HARMAN Inkjet papers with third-party inks. It is also possible that the long term stability of the prints may be compromised by the use of third-party inks. If you are using third-party inks and wish to use an ICC profile it will be necessary have the profile built specific to your printer/ink/paper combination.

WHY DON’T THE PRINTS I MADE ON HARMAN INKJET PAPER LOOK THE SAME AS WHAT I SEE ON MY COMPUTER MONITOR?

HOW LONG DO PRINTS MADE ON HARMAN INKJET PAPER TAKE TO DRY AFTER PRINTING?
The ink receiving layer of HARMAN Inkjet papers allows for rapid absorption of the inks and the print emerges from the printer dry to the touch. However, depending on the ambient humidity conditions, the print can take longer to dry completely. For this reason the prints should be handled carefully after printing. It is important that any print to be mounted or framed be allowed to dry for a full 24 hours.
