Various Printing Operations

Note

There are a small range of color component values that will be interpreted by the printer as indicating foil colors. Because of this, photographs and other data with large numbers of different colors may have areas that match the foil color designations and print partially in foil color. When printing images that contain data such as photos, it is best to print full color + foil color using Overlay mode.

■Colors (and color components) used to indicate foil colors

In simultaneous full color + foil color printing, indicate foil colors by selecting the corresponding color component for each foil color. For characters of which number of points is 32 or more, select the following approximate col- ors.

	Foil color	Application color used to
	Foil color	indicate the foil color
		indicate the foil color
	Gold foil	Yellow (or yellow-orange)

	Silver foil	Gray

∙ Color compositions using RGB settings (n/255)

Foil color	R	G	B
Gold foil	225	160	0

Silver foil	189	193	197

∙ Color compositions using RGB settings (n/100%)

Foil color	R	G	B
Gold foil	88	63	0

Silver foil	74	76	77

∙ Color compositions using CMYK settings (n/100%)

Foil color	C	M	Y	K
Gold foil	12	37	100	0

Silver foil	26	24	23	0

Note

∙See your application’s manual for instructions on setting up color components in your application. Using CMYK to specify color components may result in colors that do not match the desired foil colors.

∙Also, some applications make internal adjustment to produce the displayed color components. In such cases, the color components cannot be restricted and therefore foil colors cannot be used. When using such an application, use the Overlay mode.

∙There are a small range of color component values that will be interpreted by the printer as indicating foil colors. Be- cause of this, areas of which color component values are close to a foil color are also printed in the foil color.
