Kodak 8650 manual Working with media

Operating the printer

Working with media

This section describes the media—paper and transparency material— used with the printer. It also lists handling and storage guidelines.

Thermal paper looks and feels like photographic paper, but it is not light sensitive. The back is imprinted with the Kodak logo. Paper is shipped in 100-sheet packages.

CAUTION: Use only media designed for use in the 8650/8650 PS Color Printer. Using other materials may cause printer problems.

KODAK EKTATHERM XLS Print Paper, available in several sizes, is available in three grades:

•Photographic Grade——used for photographic applications

•Commercial Grade—used for collateral applications

•Publication Grade—used to simulate magazine applications

Table 3-2 lists each paper type and size, lists which ribbons you can use with each type, and shows the maximum image size for each paper type.
