Single Foil Color Printing
Single foil color printing uses just one color. Only the foil color to be used is installed in
the printer. This method is used when an entire image or document is going to be
printed in a single foil color. This method of printing can be used even when the applica-
tion you are using does not allow designation of color components. Using this method,
even grayscale images can be printed in foil color.
Requirements
For single foil color printing you will need the following.
•
Media
Normal paper such as plain paper, Laser Paper, postcards, etc. can be used
just as with normal color printing.
In case of Greeting Cards (Part No. 106090-00), single foil color printing can
be executed only on the paper (not glossy) side.
•
Ink cartridges
For single foil color printing, use either of the following ink cartridges.
Gold Foil ink cartridge (Part No. 105148-00)
Silver Foil ink cartridge (Part No. 105150-00)
The following ink cartridges are also necessary for undercoating.
Cyan ink cartridge (Part No. 106020-00)
Magenta ink cartridge (Part No. 106015-00)
Yellow ink cartridge (Part No. 106010-00)

Prepare the Image to Be Printed
Use any application to create the image or document you want to
print, and prepare it just as you would for normal printing.
Note
It is not necessary to select a color in the application that matches
the color of the ink cartridge in the printer. Leaving the charac-
ters and images in black is fine.
