Appendix
Ink cartridges run out very fast with monochrome printing.
Is Enhanced Monochrome selected in the Quality setting? This option im-
proves printing on rough paper but uses the ribbon twice as fast. In most
cases, printing with Enhanced Monochrome disabled produces fine results.
Can I use metallic ink cartridges on iron-on transfer sheets or back print
film?
Printing is possible, but when the image is transferred using the iron, the
metallic surface will be on the wrong side.
Can I print on overhead transparencies using metallic ink cartridges?
Printing is possible, but the metallic ink is not transparent.
Is it all right to print using the white ink on top of a full color image?
This can cause unsatisfactory results. Print the white ink before using other
ink colors.
For full color printing and photo realistic finishing, may I use any type of
paper?
We suggest using ALPS High Grade Paper for full color printing and photo
realistic finishing. Using other types of paper can produce a poor image.
Must I use the special sheets when printing transparencies?
Yes, Micro Dry TM inks do not adhere well to normal transparency sheets.
Can I print on regular greeting cards?
Yes, use manual feed mode.
Can white ink be used for iron-on transfer sheets or back print film?
When used in monochrome printing as a spot color, it can be effectively
transferred to colored T-shirts or paper. Since white ink cannot be printed
on paper subjected to full color printing, however, use of white on these
types of sheets is not guaranteed.
Can I use the Photo Overcoat cartridge for the photo realistic finishing?
No. Always use the Finish cartridge.
Is full color printing at 600 dpi possible on Photo Realistic Labels?
To obtain the best image quality, Photo Realistic Labels are printed in full
color at 1,200 dpi. Image quality obtained in full color at 600 dpi or less is
not guaranteed.
