Always use Tektronix supplies

Tektronix supplies for the Phaser 220 printer are developed and tested as a total system: printer, transfer rolls, and media. These components work together to produce consistent, high-quality color images.

Use only Tektronix transparencies and transfer rolls. When printing with a 3-color or black transfer roll, use only Tektronix thermal-transfer paper. When printing with a ColorCoat transfer roll on common laser paper, use paper that conforms to the guidelines given in Refer to the topic “Recommended paper types” on page 5-4.

Ordering information

To order supplies or upgrade kits, refer to the supplies information sheet that came with the printer and contact your local dealer or, in the U.S.A., call Tektronix at 1-800-835-6100.
