The printing process
The printer employs a dye sublimation printing system.
In this printing system, a thermal print head heats up as it passes over
the yellow, magenta and cyan layer of the ink ribbon, causing the dyes
to vaporize and permeate the surface of the print paper. A nal cycle lays
down a laminate layer to protect the printed surface.

Notes
The ink ribbon cannot be reused. You cannot reuse it by rewinding. ˎ
The number on the ink ribbon cartridge is the maximum number of sheets ˎ
that can be printed with that cartridge.
(e.g. SVM-F40P means you can print up to 40 sheets.)
Print paper emerges from the back and front paper outlets each time a ˎ
color is printed. Wait until printing is completed and the print paper is
automatically ejected onto the paper tray.
