About the Blue SMART SHEET®

- The blue SMART SHEET® will be sent through the device 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 it after you have printed all 10 sheets of photo paper in the pouch. If the 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.
