ABOUT THE SMART SHEET™

- Keep the 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 SMART SHEET™ if the paper is still from the same pouch. Simply slide the SMART SHEET™ with its barcode-side down underneath the remaining photo paper.
