Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Canon XTRM Extreme Bond better for outdoor applications than regular bond paper?
Canon XTRM Extreme Bond's uncoated surface is engineered explicitly for pigment inks, which penetrate deeper into the paper fibers and create waterproof, UV-resistant prints. Unlike coated papers that can delaminate when wet, XTRM Extreme Bond maintains its integrity in rain, humidity, and direct sunlight. The 27lb weight and tear-resistant properties make it ideal for construction sites, outdoor signage, and field drawings that must withstand harsh environmental conditions.
Which Canon printer settings should I use for optimal XTRM Extreme Bond results?
For Canon ColorWave series, use the dedicated "Canon XTRM Bond OMP" profile for optimal ink limits and color accuracy. For Canon PlotWave series, select the "#28 bond setting" which provides appropriate ink loading for this 27lb substrate. These ICC color profiles ensure improved dry time, wider color gamut, and accurate color matching while preventing ink oversaturation.
Can I use Canon XTRM Extreme Bond with dye-based inks?
While Canon XTRM Extreme Bond is compatible with dye-based inks, pigment inks are strongly recommended to achieve the full water-resistant and outdoor durability benefits. Dye inks will produce good quality prints, but won't provide the weatherproof characteristics that make XTRM Extreme Bond ideal for outdoor applications. The uncoated surface is specifically formulated to work with pigment ink chemistry for maximum durability.
How should I store Canon XTRM Extreme Bond rolls for maximum shelf life?
Store Canon XTRM Extreme Bond in a controlled environment at 60°-75°F (15°-25°C) with relative humidity between 30-70%. The paper has a shelf life of one year with proper storage. Always allow the material to stabilize to room conditions for 24 hours before printing to prevent feed issues and ensure optimal print quality. The 3-inch core provides better roll stability during storage compared to 2-inch cores.
Is Canon XTRM Extreme Bond environmentally safe and recyclable?
Canon XTRM Extreme Bond requires no Material Safety Data Sheet and is safe for normal handling and use. However, due to the specialized water-resistant treatment and potential ink contamination, waste is not suited for standard paper recycling. The enhanced durability means prints last longer, reducing overall waste compared to standard papers that require frequent reprinting due to weather damage.
