3 Photo Ribbon and Paper
Section 2: Photo Ribbon and Paper
A. ABOUT PHOTO RIBBON AND PAPER
For full-color printing, FotoFUN! has a 3-color ribbon available.
This ribbon consists of a series of three consecutive colored
panels along with a fourth clear overlay panel. The three
colored panels, yellow, magenta and cyan, combine to offer an
almost infinite number of printable colors. The clear overlay
panel is printed last and serves to seal and protect your printed
images from moisture, fingerprints, and UV light.
Although printing with the clear overlay panel is optional, it is
highly recommended that you always utilize the ribbonÕs clear
overlay panel when printing. The clear overlay will greatly
extend the longevity of your prints.
Without the clear overlay,
images will fade more quickly. The only time you should not
print with the clear overlay panel is if you plan to transfer the
printed image to a mug (see Section 4 or 5 for instructions on
enabling or disabling the clear overlay print function).
FotoFUN! ribbon comes prepackaged with FARGOÕs special
photo paper in what is called a Print Film Kit. This kit consists
of a 36-print ribbon and 36 sheets of photo paper. A 36-print
Postcard Film Kit and a 36-print FotoLABEL!
™ Kit are also
available for printing custom photo postcards as well as photo
labels or bumper stickers. FotoFUN! ribbons and paper are not
sold separately.
Contact your local FotoFUN! dealer or contact FARGO directly
at 1-800-327-4690 for selection and pricing on the most current
FotoFUN! supplies, options, and accessories.
B. INSTALLING PHOTO RIBBON
1. Remove the ribbon from its packaging. Try not to touch
the colored portion of the ribbon. Oil or dirt from your
hands can impair print quality.
2. The supply end of the ribbon is the end with the fresh,
unused ribbon on it. The ribbon take-up is the other end.
