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. After yellow, magenta, and cyan have been laid onto the print paper, the final cycle lays the laminate layer, which protects the printed surface. These four-panel printing cycles are required for each print. An ink ribbon contains 40 sets of four panels. After you print 40 sheets of print paper, the ink ribbon also runs out. Printing process flow Until printing finishes, yellow, magenta, cyan, and transparent laminate layers are processed as follows: The direction ink film moves inside the ink ribbon Laminate film Cyan Magenta Yellow Print Paper 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. After the final cycle of laminate layer finishes, the print paper is ejected onto the paper tray. 1 Check the contents of the package.
