makes multiple passes over the ribbon to print those colors on the label. Both the Multicolor and the Color & Cut systems use paneled ribbons.
CYMK ribbon, which has cyan, yellow, magenta, and black panels of 8 inches (203 mm) or 16 inches (406 mm). The printer uses all four color panels to produce a range of blended colors on your labels. The Multicolor and the Color & Cut systems can use CYMK ribbons.
Depending on the ribbon installed, you can produce several types of color on your printed labels:
Single color uses a continuous single color ribbon or one of the colors in a paneled ribbon. If you apply multiple colors when composing your label:
•With the Monocolor system, the system prints the entire label with the installed monochrome ribbon.
•With the Multicolor and Color & Cut systems, the system prompts you for the correct color ribbons.
Note: If all objects on the label are the same color, the system prints with the installed ribbon, even if the color of the ribbon does not match the color of the objects.
Spot color uses solid color ribbons, either paneled ribbons or continuous single color ribbons that you swap in when required. Spot colors print without blending with other colors to achieve the desired output color.
Blended color uses the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black CYMK ribbons, either paneled or continuous, that print in combination with each other to achieve
Hint! When a CYMK ribbon is installed, the system assumes that you want to print in blended color, even if all the objects on your label are the same color. For more efficient use of supplies, you may want to install a continuous color ribbon when you are printing a single color.
