About Ribbon

The ribbon provides dyes for printing images.
Color ribbon contains three dye patches: one yellow patch; one magenta
patch; and one cyan patch. Each color ribbon contains enough dye to
generate 100 prints.
Refer to Chapter 3, Supplies, for more information about storing and
ordering ribbon.
Handling
When handling ribbon spools, follow these guidelines:
D Hold the ribbon spools by the ends to avoid fingerprints. Lint free
gloves are recommended. Fingerprints on the ribbon web will cause a
severe reduction in image quality.
D Don't remove the tape from the new spool until the spool is mounted in
the printer and the ribbon is ready to attach to the take-up spool.
D Store ribbon according to the instructions listed in Chapter 3, Supplies.
