Multi Foil Colour Printings
Use the steps outlined below for foil colour printing using two foil colour
ink cartridges. By associating each foil colour with a colour (or colour
component) in your application, you can print with two foil colours or two
foil colours plus black. You can use this method with most applications
that support colour.
Requirements
The media and ink cartridge requirements for multi foil colour printing are
the same as in the single foil colour printing. The only difference being that
both gold and silver foil ink cartridges must be used.
Prepare the Image to Be Printed
Use any application to create the image or document you want to print.
Then set the colours corresponding to each foil colour you want to use. For
example, set the parts of the image that you want to print in gold foil to
yellow and those of the image that you want to print in silver foil to grey.
When you want to print foil colours and black simultaneously, you must
also specify the area you want to print in black.
Notes:
1 Since all of the colour and grayscale data is binarized in multi
colour printing, gradation cannot be represented.
2 White portions of data (R=G=B=100%) are not printed.
In multi foil colour printing, indicate foil colours by selecting colours in
the application that most closely resemble the foil colours. Try to select
colours that resemble the colours listed in the tables below. In applications
that do not have many colour choices, such as word processors, closely
related colours can be used.
