Dye sublimation (optional)

Dye sublimation printing is an optional upgrade which
allows continuous tone (i.e. no dots) printing at 600 dpi
resolution. Special dye sublimation media and ink car-
tridges are required. This mode of printing offers the ul-
timate in printing quality for the DP-5000 printer.

Printing metallic foil and white

Selecting the following colours in your application and
checking Use Spot Colour in the printer driver, allows
you to print gold and silver metallic foil, as well as nor-
mal colours. A white spot colour ink cartridge is also
available for printing on coloured paper or overhead
transparencies.
Note:
Foil and white spot ink cartridges cannot be
used on VPhoto media.

Overlay printing

Selecting Overlay in the printer driver leaves the paper
in the printer after printing is completed in order for you
to change cartridges and print additional colours on the
same page. By using Overlay, creative output can be
achieved either using a metallic foil as a base colour
and printing on top with conventional colours, or build-
ing up an image in a series of layers to create embossing
or other effects.
