Blend Print and Layered Print (Metallic Silver and CMYKLcLmLk)

*If equipped with both Metallic Silver ink and White ink, Lk (Light Black) ink is not used. Ignore

"Lk" in this manual.

The blend print and the layer print are printing methods in which the metallic silver ink is combined with the

CMYKLcLmLk ink. Both methods enable metallic printing which cannot be available only with the CMYKLcLmLk

ink. The blend print and the layer print are dierent from each other in terms of how to print. They are dier-

ent also in the metallic impression of CMYKLcLmLk. You can select the blend print or layer print in [Mode] of

the print setting. You can select either print mode according to your preference.

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.

 P. 52, "Printing a Metallic Color Chart (Equipped with Silver)"

The metallic silver ink and the CMYKLcLmLk ink are blended to be a single layer for

printing.
