Rules for extraction color Here are some general rules for extraction highlight color on the IPS:
• The highlight color ink loaded in the printer always determines
the final output color—it is impossible, for example, to obtain red
text from green ink.
•
Executive Black prints all non-black colors as black.
• Colors in the job that are different from the extraction color print
as black when Exact Color Only is specified.
The following table summarizes the extraction color principles, using
red, green, and blue as examples:
Color samples The “Extraction color samples” appendix in the Xerox DocuPrint
4850/4890 IPS System Overview Guide shows extractions for the
inks available for your system. It shows approximately what shades,
tints, and solids will be produced by the possible combinations of the
printer inks, the job-specified colors, and the extraction colors.
Caution: These appendix pages show an approximation of the
colors that your printer will produce; they are included to give you an
idea of what to expect. However, the actual printed colors can vary
from printer to printer. You should always run test prints to see
exactly how your printer prints these colors.
