About the Blue SMART SHEET®

- Load the blue SMART SHEET® and photo paper from within the same pouch for optimal print quality. Each blue SMART SHEET® is specifically tuned for the pouch of paper it is contained in.
- The blue SMART SHEET® will be sent through the printer automatically before the first print to clean the printer and optimize print quality for that specific paper pouch (10 sheets).
- Keep the blue SMART SHEET® and only discard after you have printed all 10 sheets of photo paper in the pouch. If print quality is not as expected, you can reuse the blue SMART SHEET® if the paper is still from the same pouch. Simply slide the blue SMART SHEET® with its barcode-side down underneath the remaining photo paper.
- Using a blue SMART SHEET® from another pouch may result in reduced print quality.
