Undercoating with a White Ink Cartridge

Undercoating with a White Ink Cartridge

A white ink cartridge can be used not only to print white characters on colored paper, but also for undercoating. Undercoating is a function for printing a white undercoat on colored paper so that the paper can later be subjected to full color printing. This is done because if full color printing is applied to colored paper, the hue of the printing may be changed. However, a white undercoat enables all colors to be clearly reproduced re- gardless of paper color.

Note

White may not be clearly reproduced in some cases, depending on the depth of color of the paper. Execute a test print to evalu- ate this possibility.

Requirements

For undercoating, you will need the following.

∙Ink cartridges

White ink cartridge (Part No. 106050-00)

∙Media

As in full color printing, plain or cardboard can be used for printing.

Note

Iron-on transfer sheets, back print films, and overhead projector transparencies cannot be used for undercoating.
