Single Ink Printing
Single Ink printing uses just one color. Only the color to be used is installed in
the printer. This method is used when an entire image or document is going to
be printed in a single color.
This method of printing can be used even when the application you are using
does not allow designation of color compositions. Using this method, even full
color or grayscale images can be printed in spot color.
Requirements
For single spot color printing you will need the following.
• Ink cartridges
For spot ink printing at least one ink cartridge is required.
Metallic gold ink cartridge (Part No. 106030-00)
Metallic silver ink cartridge (Part No. 106045-00)
Metallic magenta ink cartridge (Part No. 106035-00)
Metallic cyan ink cartridge (Part No. 106040-00)
White ink cartridge (Part No. 106050-00)
Cyan ink cartridge (Part No. 106020-00)
Magenta ink cartridge (Part No.106015-00)
Yellow ink cartridge (Part No.106010-00)
Black ink cartridge (Part No. 106005-00)
• Media
Plain or smooth paper can be used just as with normal color printing.
Since metallic ink is not transparent, printing on colored paper also works
well. We suggest using High Grade Paper (Part No. 106085-00) and Greet-
ing Cards (Part No. 106090-00).
White ink can be printed on iron-on transfer sheets, overhead projector trans-
parencies, or back print films.

¨Create Data for Spot Color Printing

Use any application to create the image or document you want to
print, and prepare it just as you would for normal printing.
Note
It is not necessary to select a color in the application that matches
the color of the ink cartridge in the printer. Leaving the charac-
ters and images in black is fine. Color and shaded areas will be
printed in varying gradations as dot matrices under the Grayscale
setting.
