Loading the print ribbon
The printer uses print ribbon with color panels, continuous color, or color and topcoat.
Full-color ribbon (such as YMCKT) must be Platinum Series ribbon, which uses blue
ribbon spools. Monochrome (one color) ribbon on teal-colored ribbon spools can also
be used. (Full-color ribbon on teal-colored spools cannot be used.)
The type of ribbon in the printer must match the print ribbon setting in the driver.
To order new ribbon, contact your service provider. See “Supplies and cards” on
page B-1 for information about ribbons available.
