X2 Inks
X2 graphics inks are pigmented, oil-based, and designed specifically for use with X2 printers and media. These
inks are formulated to be smudge resistant, instant drying and can be laminated immediately in most cases.
The colour gamut is based on the SWOP (Standard Web Offset Printing) standards for press-quality, colour
graphics, versatility and easy colour calibration. The inks do not require any special drying time after printing.
6-colour printing adds two tonal inks, Light Cyan and Light Magenta, to the typical suite of 4-colour process
printing (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). These colours improve the gradient perception between dithered
process colour shifts, or “smoothes out” blended areas of an image by introducing lighter tones of the colours
that construct the blend. For example, skin tones appear more true because the colour of dots creating the
image on paper are not as dark from one percentage to the next.

Critical Operating Instructions
• X2 inks are instantly dry to the touch when printed. All X2 prints can be laminated immediately. Please check
the individual product specification sheet for details on handling and lamination functions.
• Ink yields are ultimately determined by the image being printed. For example, heavy saturated images will
consume more ink at different ratios than light coverage graphics. The following statement provides a general
assumption to help in determining approximate ink consumption and costs:
• Printing with 75% ink coverage in 360 dpi print mode, one set of inks (3 litres, C,M,Y,K, LC,LM) will yield 469
sq. metres or 5048 sq.ft. The yields are significantly reduced if printing in 720-dpi mode continuously.
• A small amount of ink is left in the bottom of each ink cartridge. There is extra ink in each of the bottles to
compensate for this residue. Do not attempt to pour residue from one bottle into another bottle.
