Blend Print and Layered Print (Metallic Silver and CMYKLcLm)

Using the metallic silver ink, you can perform the blend print and the layered print by combining the ink with

the CMYKLcLm ink. By this means, you can realize the metallic expressions that cannot be made only with the

CMYKLcLm ink. The printing methods are dierent between the blend print and the layered print, and so are

the metallic impressions of the CMYKLcLm colors. Select and use the types of printing to suit your taste.

* When you perform “Printing with White, Metallic Silver, and CMYK Ink” (page 34), the printing method is

limited to the blend print.

In performing the blend print or the layered print, you can specify the colors from the metallic color

special colors library. However, if you specify the metallic colors with the same names for the blend

print and the layered print, the tones of the colors are dierent between them. We recommend that

you check the tones of the colors by performing the test printing or printing out the Metallic Color

Chart.

Seeing the metallic color chart for the layered print, you may feel a slight inconsistency between the

names and the tones of the colors. This is because the colors listed in the Metallic Color Chart are

named based on those for the blend print.

The metallic silver ink and the CMYKLcLm ink are

blended to be a single layer for printing.
