INK command

The INK command is only valid on Xerox highlight color and full color printers. This command specifies all of the inks and colors you use when you create a form on Xerox highlight color and full color printers. The inks you specify with the INK command are referenced as an index number when you use the LINE, TEXT and BOX commands. They are not referenced as their identification name.

The ICATALOG and PALETTE commands must precede the INK command, as the printer uses the palette and catalog specified in these commands. If you do not specify a catalog or palette for a highlight color form, the printer uses its default catalog and palette.

Ink index numbers begin with 1 for the first ink you specify, 2 for the second, and so forth. This numbered list of ink names is the ink list you use for your form. The ink you selected for a specific description command is identified by the associated ink number found in the ink list. This command follows the FONT command. The maximum number of ink names that can be defined is 255.
