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 | |

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.
