4 Ink Cartridges and Printable CDs
Section 2: Ink Cartridges and
Printable CDs
A. ABOUT INK CARTRIDGES AND PRINTABLE CDS
For full-color printing, a 3-color ink cartridge is available. This
cartridge contains the three process-color inks of yellow,
magenta, and cyan, which combine to produce up to 16.7
million printable colors. A monochrome ink cartridge is also
available for fast, inexpensive black and white printing.
With either of these ink cartridges, you can print directly onto
virtually any brand of printable-surface CD media. Since
different brands of CDs have different printable coatings,
however, you may need to adjust the printer driver settings to
accommodate your specific brand of CD media. Refer to
Section 3 for further printer driver information.
Due to the wide variety of printable-surface CD media, you
may find that certain brands of CDs provide higher print
quality than others. For maximum print quality, use CD media
authorized by the printer manufacturer. Contact your local CD
Color Printer reseller or contact the printer manufacturer
directly for selection and pricing on all printer supplies and
accessories.
B. INSTALLING AN INK CARTRIDGE
1. With the CD Tray closed, open the printer’s front cover by
pulling down on its top-left corner.
2. Remove the ink cartridge from its packaging.
