Paper That Can Be Used for Printing
The Digital Photo Printer can use the following three types of paper.
(Use Print Sets that either bear the mark or have been designated by Panasonic as suitable
for this Digital Photo Printer)
■Standard paper
The Print Set PV-MPS50 is required.
(Sold separately: Ink Cassette and paper [50
sheets])
•This paper can be used as a postcard if a
postage stamp is affixed.
•Do not affix stamps or adhesive paper to the
paper or print on it with a word processor before
printing. The paper may become curled, or the
stamp may come off, resulting in a paper jam or
malfunction in the Photo Printer.
•Do not write on the paper before printing on it
with the Photo Printer,
•When writing on a printed surface, use a
permanent marker (oil-based). In this case, do
not allow printed surfaces to come into contact
with each other.
• Permanent markers, washable markers, pencils,
and ballpoint pens can all be used to write on the
back of the printed images. However, be careful
not to apply too much pressure when writing on
the back since this will leave marks on the printed
surface.
■Adhesive paper
The Print Set PV-MPAS25 is required.
(Sold separately: Ink Cassette and adhesive paper
[25 sheets])
•Do not peel off the adhesive before printing. This
can cause a paper jam or malfunction in the
Photo Printer.
•When affixing the adhesive paper to another
surface (paper, glass, plastic, metal, etc.),
carefully clean the surface of all dirt and foreign
matter.
•When cutting off adhesive paper after printing,
use a “one-sheet cutter" (available at stores) to
cut the adhesive paper with the backing paper
still in place.
■16 Pre-Cut Adhesive paper
The Print Set PV-MPAS16 is required.
(Sold separately: Ink Cassette and 16 Pre-Cut
Adhesive paper [25 sheets])
•Do not peel off the adhesive before printing.
This can cause a paper jam or malfunction in the
Photo Printer.
•When affixing the adhesive paper to another
surface (paper, glass, plastic, metal, etc.),
carefully clean the surface of all dirt and foreign
matter.
•This paper cannot be used for wide-mode
printing.
