High performance heat-resistant

techno{ogy for dye sublimation

printing

The printer employs the professional

dye sublimation printing systems. With

its professional digital filter, the printer

eliminates color deterioration that may

occur because of the heated head, and

reproduces photo-realistic prints.

Super Coat 2

The Super (?oat 2feature enables high

durability and moisture or fingerprint

resistance, keeping your prints in good

condition for an extended period of

time.

Auto Fine Print 3

The Auto Fine Print 3 analyses the

pictl_re information of an image,

including the Exit data, and corrects the

resulting picture. You can select a

correction option from "Vivid" to

improve the vividness of an image, or

"Photographical" to make an image

look more natural and beautiful. Thanks

to the heat-resistance process and a

high-speed CPU, Auto Fine Print 3

realizes even higher-definition

reproduction and quicker adjustments

than the previous Auto Fine Print 2

could.

Exit 2.2* (Exit Print) -°"-

support (page 51) _J_i# _#i"t

The printer supports Exit 2.2.

Coupled with the Auto Fine Print 3

feature, the printer automatically

adiusts an image of an Exit Print-

compliant digital camera and prints it

with optimal picture quality.

When you use the supplied

PictureGear Studio software to print

an image from your PC, you can

choose Exit Print picture correction in

addition to the conventional OS

picture correction. In Exit Print

correction, the supplied printer driver

uses the Exit data of an image and the

printer's color processing to adjust

and reproduce an image with

supreme picture quality.

Red-eye reduction and other

adjustments (MONITOR OUT/PC

modes only, page 35)

Yot_ ("an adiust an image to reduce the

red-eye phenomenon that may occur

when the subiect was shot with flash.

Adiustments of brightness, hue, and

other elements of picture quality are

also possible.

* Exit (Exchangeable image file format for

digital cameras) Print is a global standard

for digital photo printing. A digital

camera supporting Exit Print stores data

relevant to the shooting conditions as

each shot is taken. The printer utilises the

Exit Print data stored in each image file to

ensure the printed result matches the

original shot as closely as possible.

the printer. The printer will not work

properly in electromagnetic fields.

, Do not place l_eavy obiects on the

printer.

, Leave enough room around the

printer so that the ventilation holes

are not blocked. Blocking these holes

may cause internal heat build-up.

On moisture condensation

If the printer is brought directly from a

cold location to a warm location or

placed in an extremely warm or humid

room, moisture may condense inside the

unit. In such cases the printer will

probably not work properly and may

even develop a fault if you persist in

using it. If moistl_re condensation

occurs, unplug the AC power cord of the

printer and do not use the printer for at

least one hour.

Exif 2.2 (Exif Print)

Exif (Exchangeable image file format

for digital cameras) Print is a global

standard for digital photo printing. A

digital camera supporting Exif Print

stores the data relevant to the

conditions of shooting as each shot is

Print data stored in each image file to

ensure the printed result matches the

original shot as closely as possible*L

"1 When the "Auto Fine Print 2" is

enabled and an image (JPEG file) is

shot by an Exif Print (Exif 2.2)-

compliant digital camera, the image is

automatically adjusted to its optimum

picture quality and printed.
