Undercoating with a White Ink Cartridge
A white ink cartridge can be used not only to print white characters on colored paper,
but also for undercoating. Undercoating is a function for printing a white undercoat on
colored paper so that the paper can later be subjected to full color printing. This is done
because if full color printing is applied to colored paper, the hue of the printing may be
changed. However, a white undercoat enables all colors to be clearly reproduced re-
gardless of paper color.
Note
White may not be clearly reproduced in some cases, depending
on the depth of color of the paper. Execute a test print to evalu-
ate this possibility.
Requirements
For undercoating, you will need the following.
•
Ink cartridges
White ink cartridge (Part No. 106050-00)
•
Media
As in full color printing, plain or cardboard can be used for printing.
Note
Iron-on transfer sheets, back print films, and overhead projector
transparencies cannot be used for undercoating.
