Section 2: Ink Cartridges and Printable CD-R’s

A. ABOUT INK CARTRIDGES AND PRINTABLE CD-R’S

For full-color printing, a 3-color ink cartridge is available. This cartridge contains the three process-color inks of yellow, magenta, and cyan, which combine to produce up to 16.7 million printable colors. A monochrome ink cartridge is also available for fast, inexpensive black and white printing.

With either of these ink cartridges, you can print directly onto virtually any brand of printable-surface CD-R media. Since different brands of CD-RÕs have different printable coatings, however, you may need to adjust the printer driver settings to accommodate your specific brand of CD-R media. Refer to Section 3 or 4 for further printer driver information.

Due to the wide variety of printable-surface CD-R media, you may find that certain brands of CD-RÕs provide higher print quality than others. For maximum print quality, use CD-R media authorized by the printer manufacturer. Contact your local CD Color Printer reseller or contact the printer manufacturer directly for selection and pricing on all printer supplies and accessories.
