Introduction
Your new Alps MD-1300 Photographic-Quality Color Printer is the first versa-
tile dye-sublimation printer to bring true photographic quality to the desktop.
Using Alps' patented Micro Dry
TM Photographic-Quality Inks and Photographic-
Quality media you can print detailed, continuous-tone images, similar to pho-
tographs. Take images from a variety of sources — scanners, digital cameras,
the Internet, PhotoCDs, and more. Edit, crop, and resize those images using
the photo software provided, and print them out in rich, vivid, water-resistant
color onto Photographic-Quality Paper and Labels.
The Alps MD-1300 Photographic-Quality Color Printer is also extremely versatile
— it's almost like having two printers in one. Using the Alps standard Micro
Dry
TM inks and Alps special paper, you can print exquisite 1200 x 600 dpi color.
You can even print 600 x 600 dpi color on T-shirt transfers, overhead transpar-
encies, greeting cards, and more with fadeproof, smearproof, and waterproof
inks. You can even use Micro Dry
TM metallic inks to add sparkling touches to
business cards, letterhead, and invitations.
Your new Alps MD-1300 Photographic-Quality Color Printer is easy to install
and easy to use. The enclosed Quick Start Guide will get experienced users
up and running quickly. This User's Guide will provide detailed information and
instructions about set-up and operation, to help you take full advantage of this
