■About the Digital Photo Printer in General ■About the Paper and ln^< Cassettes
Q11 : How should I store my prints?
A11 : We recommend keeping them in an album.
When doing so, make sure that the pockets
are made of nylon, polypropylene, or
cellophane. Using other materials may result
in color transfer or discoloration, (p.48)
Q12: What is the “thermal sublimation transfer
printing system”?
A12: This is a type of printing method offering
excellent image quality. Other methods exist
such as the direct thermal printing method.
Q13; What does the number of dots in a printed
picture mean?
A13; A printed picture is made up of many dots.
This printer prints 464 dots (vertical) X 672
dots (horizontal) during VIDEO Input Mode,
and prints 478 dots (vertical)
X 700 dots
(horizontal) during PC Card Input Mode.
The print size for PC Card input is slightly
larger than the print size for Video input.
014: What does “256 color gradations” mean?
A14: It means that the Digital Photo Printer can
express 256 gradations of color between
white and the darkest color formed by the
three primary colors. Because each of the
three colors can be expressed in 256
gradations, the total number of colors is
256X256X256 (full color).
015: How do the Init Cassettes and paper
work?
A15: The Ink Cassettes contain three colors in one
unit: cyan, magenta, and yellow. The printing
paper has a special coating that improves the
adhesion of the ink.
016: How should I store the Ink Cassettes and
paper after having opened them?
A16: Do not leave the Ink Cassettes or paper in a
location exposed to direct sunlight, or in a
location subjected to high temperature or
high humidity. Place the cassette or paper
back in its original silver bag, and then store
them flat, (p.48)
These supplies should be used as soon as
possible after they are opened.
017; What kind of paper can the Digital Photo
Printer print on?
A17: The Digital Photo Printer can print on
standard paper and adhesive paper
(including 16 Pre-Cut Adhesive paper).
Do not use other types of paper, since doing
so could cause paper jams or other
malfunctions. Use the special Print Set and
Video Print Ink Cassette when printing, (p.11)
018: Can the Digital Photo Printer print images
continuously?
A18: If “PRINT’ is set in MENU Mode, up to 10
sheets can be printed continuously.
(P-16, 32)
019: How many sheets can be printed with a
single ink Cassette?
A19: An Ink Cassette can print the number of
sheets that are included in the same Print
Set. For example, the Print Set PV-MPS50 is
intended for 50 sheets, and so the Ink
Cassette can print 50 sheets. Ink Cassettes
cannot be rewound and used again.
020: What kinds of Ink Cassettes and printing
paper can I use with the Digital Photo
Printer?
A20: Use Print Sets that bear either the
MPI mark or have been designated by
Panasonic as suitable for this Digital Photo
Printer.
