e imaging side of inkjet film is the sticky side if you touch it with a wet `
finger.
Fan the sheets of film before loading them in the paper tray. It is best to `
feed film sheets one at a time.
In high humidity conditions, do not stack output films before they are `
dry. You may use a hair dryer to speed the drying process.
Handle film by the edges and store it in a cool, dry location. `
You may use a Film Opaque Pen to do minor touch-up work. `

If the printer will not print:
Make sure a job is not hung-up in FastRIP. You can check the status of a print job in FastRIP’s
Queue Window. If a print job is listed as ”Pending”, go to the Queue menu and select Start.
e RIP or Printer Driver may not be set to correct port. Open FastRIP and go to Printers/Man-
age Printers. Select the Epson 1400 printer. Change the port to match the one to which the Epson
printer is connected. If you are using a USB cable, the correct port would be Epson Stylus Photo
1400_USB00*. Click on Ok and attempt to print again.
