Blend Print and Layered Print (Metallic Silver and CMYKLcLmLk)

*If equipped with both Metallic Silver ink and White ink, Lk (Light Black) ink is not used. Ignore
"Lk" in this manual.
The blend print and the layer print are printing methods in which the metallic silver ink is combined with the
CMYKLcLmLk ink. Both methods enable metallic printing which cannot be available only with the CMYKLcLmLk
ink. The blend print and the layer print are different from each other in terms of how to print. They are differ-
ent also in the metallic impression of CMYKLcLmLk. You can select the blend print or layer print in [Mode] of
the print setting. You can select either print mode according to your preference.

* When you perform "Printing with White, Metallic Silver, and CMYKLcLm Ink" (page 37), the printing method
is limited to the blend print.
In performing the blend print or the layered print, you can specify the colors from the metallic
color special colors library. However, if you specify the metallic colors with the same names
for the blend print and the layered print, the tones of the colors are different between
them. We recommend that you check the tones of the colors by performing the test printing
or printing out the Metallic Color Chart.
Seeing the metallic color chart for the layered print, you may feel a slight inconsistency between
the names and the tones of the colors. This is because the colors listed in the Metallic Color
Chart are named based on those for the blend print.
