Photo-realistic printing

With its dye sublimation printing system, the printer can make photorealistic prints meeting a number of different requirements.

Super Coat 2 feature

The Super Coat 2 enables high durability and moisture or fingerprint resistance, keeping your prints in good picture quality for an extended period of time.

You can select from a large, dynamic Post Card (4 x 6 inch) size/3.5 x 5 inch size print or an economical Small (3.5 x 4 inch) size print. For the Post Card (4 x 6 inch) size and 3.5 x 5 inch size prints, you can also select a borderless or border print.

result matches the original shot as closely as possible.

A wide variety of image processing and adjustments without

using a computer (page 27)

A variety of image processing functions allow you to magnify/reduce, rotate, or move the image. You can also enter and overlay characters on an image or add a special effect to the picture to produce sepia, monochrome, or paint pictures.

Notes

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound print cartridge for printing. Otherwise, proper printing result will not be obtained, or even a breakdown may occur.

•Use the printing pack for this printer only.

•Always use the print cartridge designed for the size of the print paper you use. If you mix cartridges and paper of different types or sizes, printing may not be possible, or a paper jam or other trouble may occur.

•Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the printed image thicker. This may even cause a malfunction or breakdown.

•Do not touch the ink ribbon of the print cartridge or the printing surface of the print paper. If there are fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or the ink ribbon, the printing quality may deteriorate.

•For high quality prints, avoid placing the printing pack in locations that are subject to high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

•When storing a partially-used pack of the print cartridge and print paper, store it in its original bag or in a similar container.
