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 lm, causing
the dyes to vaporize and permeate the surface of the print paper. Aer yellow, magenta,
and cyan have been laid onto the print paper, the nal 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. Aer you print 40 sheets of print paper, the
ink ribbon also runs out.
Printing process flow
Until printing nishes, yellow, magenta, cyan, and transparent laminate layers are
processed as follows:
Yellow
Magenta
Cyan

the ink ribbon
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. Aer the nal cycle of laminate layer
nishes, 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.
