a) It is important to control the PCS value to print dropout colors. (You
need to choose a printer equipped with devices that can measure PCS
values.)
Dropout color for the reading sensor
The print colors that experience dropout at the peak sensitivity wavelengths for
the image reading sensor are given in the table below.
If wishing to avoid dropout in printable areas such as text areas during image
reading, select a peak sensitivity wavelength that differs from that for the print
color.
