Loading the Ribbon Cartridge

Loading the Ribbon Cartridge

The ribbon provides dyes for printing images. The three-color XtraLife ribbon contains enough dye to make 50 prints. The XtraLife ribbons contain additional patches that protect images from fingerprints.

Handling the Ribbon

●Do not expose the ribbon to direct sunlight, extreme heat, dust, or liquids.

●Leave the top cover closed except when you need to access the inside of the 8500 printer.

Storing Ribbons

For the highest image quality, store ribbons as follows:

●Store unopened ribbons at temperatures below 77oF (25oC). Avoid exposure to temperatures higher than 100oF (38oC).

●Keep partially used ribbons in their original wrappers to protect them from dust and dirt when they are not loaded in the 8500 printer. Dust and dirt specks on the ribbon show up as much larger spots on prints.
