D. About Paperand TransparencyFilm21PrimeraPro comes equipped with both a waxthermal transfer and a dye-sublimation samplemedia kit. The wax thermal transfer kit contains 25sheets of standard grade paper and 5 sheets oftransparency film. The Dye-Sublimation Starter Kitcontains 10 sheets of dye-sublimation paper. Thisshould be enough to get you started. The amountof media contained in each kit matches the numberof prints on each Starter Ribbon.When you need more thermal transfer paper, it ishighly recommended that you use FARGO-brandpaper. Although PrimeraPro prints wax thermaltransfer on plain paper, papers with a very smoothfinish or a coated finish give you the best possibleprint quality and color brightness. Two grades ofthermal transfer paper are available from FARGO:Standard Grade and Premium Grade. StandardGrade is a very smooth uncoated paper (Print oneither side). Premium Grade is a coated sheet(Print on the smooth, coated side). Both areavailable in A-Size (8.5" x 11") and A4-Size (210 x297mm). You may also wish to experiment withvery high-quality laser printer papers. Dependingupon the paper selected, quality may range fromvery poor to excellent.FARGO’s dye-sublimation paper is only availablepre-packaged with the dye-sublimation ribbon.Dye-sublimation paper is available in A (8.5” x 11”)or A4-size (210 x 297mm) when packaged with the3-color or monochrome dye-sublimation ribbons.A Legal-size (8.5” x 14”, 216 x 356mm) dye-sublimation paper is also available for use onlywith FARGO’s 4-color dye-sublimation ribbon.This large format ribbon/paper combinationprovides true 4-color dye-sublimation printingalong with a larger printable area than thestandard A or A4-size paper. It is very importantto always use FARGO-brand dye-sublimationribbon and paper, since both are specificallymatched for use with your PrimeraPro (Print onwhite, glossy side).Like FARGO-brand papers, FARGO Transparenciesare specially coated for either wax thermal transferor dye-sublimation printing. Dye-sublimationtransparencies are available in A (Letter) or A4-sizes and come pre-packaged with a 3-color dye-sublimation ribbon.
