Penguin is similar to Emperor. I have adapted two dif products to make them work in my Emperor 400. There aree equivalent products for the Penguins.
I use the drsfostersmith.com clamshell frames from these:

With the carbonless pads from kensfish.com (You have to trim a bit of the plastic on the sides ofso they fit the frame.):

I clean the pads using a 25% bleach solution in a bucket overnight. Rinse em well and let em dry and they can be reused. I keep two sets of frames and 3 sets of pads and am always ready to remove and replace every week that way.
