Will Post-it® Picture Paper work in my printer?

Yes, Both the Matte and High Gloss finishes work in all inkjet printers. The Semi-gloss finish works in all inkjet printers except one, the Canon SELPHY™ Compact Photo Printer.

How do I load the 4"x 6" paper into my printer?

If you have a photo printer, it likely has a tray for the 4"x 6" paper. Simply load the Post-it® Picture Paper face up or face down depending on your printer’s instructions.

HINT: Front-loading printers usually load papers face down (liner up) while rear-loading printers usually load face up (liner away).

If you do not have a photo printer, try using the main tray and adjust the guides on the sides to fit close to the edge of the paper.

If your printer’s main tray does not adjust, try using the envelope bypass slot, if available.

Peel

How do I peel off the liner?

After the ink is dry, gently run your finger between the paper and the liner along the longer side (6" or 11" side), grasp the corner of the liner and peel the two apart.

To apply to a surface, apply firm pressure from the picture side over the adhesive stripes to stick practically anywhere.

Is the adhesive permanent?

No, the adhesive used is repositionable; Post-it® Picture Paper uses the same adhesive as Post-it® Super Sticky Notes. It is easy to put up, yet removes cleanly.

How long will the adhesive last?

That depends on where the picture is placed. Generally, as long as the surface is smooth and clean, your picture will stick over and over on a variety of surfaces.
