Single color uses a continuous single color ribbon or one of the colors in a paneled ribbon:
•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, if you applied multiple colors when composing your label.
Note: If all objects on the label are the same color, the system prints with the installed monocolor 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 must 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 23
