The colors of toner cannot be stressed or destressed in the printer. Therefore, a
larger amount of dots are used in the printer, and colors are expressed in various
combinations by adding black to cyan, yellow, and magenta. In addition, the smaller
the dots are, colors can be printed in a higher resolution.
