4Ribbons andPaperYour PrimeraPro initially comes equipped with botha 30 print 3-color wax thermal transfer StarterRibbon and a 10 print dye-sublimation Starter Kit.Normally, wax thermal 3-color ribbons have 115prints. With a 3-color ribbon, all three colors (C,M,Y)are used to print a “process” or “additive” black.For color printing with a “true” black , you maywish to use a 4-color wax thermal ribbon (C,M,Y,K).The 4-color ribbon has a separate black panel forprinting “true” black, and will produce 80 prints.A wax thermal monochrome ribbon is also availablefor users who wish to use PrimeraPro for printinglaser quality text and monochrome images in 64-level gray scale. The monochrome ribbon willproduce 360 prints. If you plan to do a lot ofswitching back and forth between color printingand monochrome printing, you should considerordering a spare Ribbon Cartridge for yourmonochrome ribbon. This allows you to quickly andeasily change ribbon types. (See Appendix A forimportant information on monochrome printing.)For dye-sublimation printing, a special 3-color or4-color dye-sublimation ribbon is available forprinting photo-realistic images in spectacular 24-bit color.
