How many prints
can the starter ink
cassette print?

It can make five prints, the same
number as the supplied starter
paper sheets. A symbol similar to the
one at the right will appear on the
LCD monitor when the ink runs out. Please
exchange the ink cassette with a new one.
Note that dye-sublimation thermal transfer
photo printers such as the SELPHY series cannot
print any more prints than those noted on the
color ink/paper set packages. They use a
technology very different from that used in ink
jet printers.
