ribbon contains enough dye to make 150 prints.The black ribbon contains

enough dye to make 200 prints.The XtraLife ribbons, both color and black,

contain additional patches that protect images from ﬁngerprints.

•

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

Storing Ribbon Cartridges

For highest image quality, store ribbon cartridges as follows:

•
