Color number. 0 through 255.
RGB composition, scaled to 255 = 100%. In this example, it is
100% red + 0% green + 100% blue, which is magenta.
Notice that RGB and CMYK, – plus white – are assigned by default to pens 0
through 7, and that eight grayscales are included in the 256 colors.
The 256 colors shown in the Palette Demo are not the only colors you can print
with your plotter! Using your software, you can create many more colors and, as
long as you are using the correct driver, the plotter will reproduce these colors by
an appropriate mix of inks from its CMYK cartridges. The Palette Demo merely
shows the 256 colors available for use in the plotter's internal palettes, should you
choose to use them.
