Printing in foil colour
Foil colour printing is one of the unique features of the OKI
You can print with up to two foil colours, (or two foil colours plus black) from most applications that allow colour specification. Moreover, because foil inks are opaque, foil colour printing is unaffected by the colour of the underlying paper. As a result, you can print on coloured plain paper.
Note 1:
Special colour ink is used for foil colour printing. Therefore, undercoat must be applied using cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks before printing Foil Colour.
Note 2:
Depending on the font type, size or paper type, foil col- our ink may not always be well applied.
The following types of foil colour printing are possible depending on the number of ink cartridges used.
English
•Single foil colour printing (without halftone) - Foil colour printing using a single colour (gold or silver).
•Multi foil colour printing - Foil colour printing using two colours (gold and silver).
•Full colour plus foil colour printing - Simultane- ous full colour and foil colour printing.
Single foil colour printing
Single foil colour printing uses just one foil colour. Only the foil colour to be used is installed in the printer. This method of printing is used when an entire image (including grayscale images) or document is going to be printed in a single foil colour. Single foil colour printing can be used even when the application you are using does not allow designation of colour components.
