Learning about the printing process

°e printer is a dye sublimation printer using an ink ribbon printing process.

As illustrated below, the ink ribbon is made up of three colored panels (yellow, magenta,

and cyan), and one clear lamination panel for overcoating.

When printing begins, the thermal print head heats up as it passes over the film, causing

the dyes to vaporize and permeate the surface of the print paper. Aﬅer yellow, magenta,

and cyan have been laid onto the print paper, the final cycle lays the laminate layer, which

protects the printed surface. °ese four-panel printing cycles are required for each print.

An ink ribbon contains 40 sets of four panels. Aﬅer you print 40 sheets of print paper, the

ink ribbon also runs out.

Tip

During printing, print paper moves back and forth along the thermal head of the printer, which is why the print

paper is partially ejected several times from the rear and front paper outlets. Aﬅer the final cycle of laminate layer

finishes, the print paper is ejected onto the paper tray.

Please read the reverse side

to make a print.

Note on number of sheets

With an ink ribbon, you can print the total of 40 sheets of the print paper, 2 packs of

20-sheet print paper.

When you feed the print paper, please make sure that the total number of sheets in the

paper tray does not exceed 20. When 2 packs of 20-sheet print paper runs out, the ink

ribbon should also run out.
