Video Transcript

Some printers have sensors that are not friendly with film media.

An easy way to manage this is to add a paper carrier sheet that matches the size of your film.

Sharply fold over one inch of the leading edge then insert a film sheet with the emulsion side up.

When the printer grabs the paper the rollers will also grab and hold both the film during printing.

A quick tip: To prevent the folded corner of the carrier sheet from touching the print head upon its initial setup pass, tape down the corner closest to the print head.
