Ink reduction

Ink reduction lets you reduce the percentage of ink laid down by the printer. This feature applies only to HPGL/2 format images (vector-based images) and has no effect on continuous tone images. It is especially useful for images with large amounts of printed area and helps to avoid bleeding or oversaturating the media. It does, however, change the appearance of colors, so you may want to run a small test print.

➪To set ink reduction

1Press Setup/Ink Option/Ink Reduction.

2Choose a reduction percentage - 12.5, 25%, 37.5, or 50%.

3Press OK.
