Section 2: Photo Ribbon and Paper

A. ABOUT PHOTO RIBBON AND PAPER

For full-color printing, FotoFUN! has a 3-color ribbon available. This ribbon consists of a series of three consecutive colored panels along with a fourth clear overlay panel. The three colored panels, yellow, magenta and cyan, combine to offer an almost infinite number of printable colors. The clear overlay panel is printed last and serves to seal and protect your printed images from moisture, fingerprints, and UV light.

Although printing with the clear overlay panel is optional, it is highly recommended that you always utilize the ribbonÕs clear overlay panel when printing. The clear overlay will greatly extend the longevity of your prints. Without the clear overlay, images will fade more quickly. The only time you should not print with the clear overlay panel is if you plan to transfer the printed image to a mug (see Section 4 or 5 for instructions on enabling or disabling the clear overlay print function).

FotoFUN! ribbon comes prepackaged with FARGOÕs special photo paper in what is called a Print Film Kit. This kit consists of a 36-print ribbon and 36 sheets of photo paper. A 36-print Postcard Film Kit and a 36-print FotoLABEL!Kit are also available for printing custom photo postcards as well as photo labels or bumper stickers. FotoFUN! ribbons and paper are not sold separately.

Contact your local FotoFUN! dealer or contact FARGO directly at 1-800-327-4690 for selection and pricing on the most current FotoFUN! supplies, options, and accessories.
