Applying Color 8-3
16 inch (406 mm) lengths on each ribbon. The printer makes
multiple passes over the tape to print those colors on the label. Only
the Multicolor and the Color & Cut systems can use paneled
ribbons.
CYMK paneled ribbon, which has cyan, yellow, magenta, and
black panels of 8 inches (203 mm) or 16 inches (406 mm). The
printer uses all four color panels to produce 23 blended colors on
your labels. Only the Multicolor and the Color & Cut systems can
use CYMK ribbons.
Continuous process color ribbon, which contains cyan, yellow,
magenta, and black in a continuous ribbon and produces blended
colors. Only the Multicolor and the Color & Cut systems can use
Continuous process color ribbons.
Depending on the ribbon installed, you can produce several types of
color on your printed labels:
Single color uses a continuous single color ribbon or one of the
colors in a paneled ribbon:
• With the Monocolor system, the system prints the entire label
with the installed monochrome ribbon.
• With the Multicolor and Color & Cut systems, the system prompts
you for the correct color ribbons, if you applied multiple colors
when composing your label.
Note: If all objects on the label are the same color, the system prints
with the installed monocolor ribbon, even if the color of the
ribbon does not match the color of the objects.
Spot color uses solid color ribbons, either paneled ribbons or
continuous single color ribbons that you must swap in when
required. Spot colors print without blending with other colors to
achieve the desired output color.
Blended color uses the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black CYMK
ribbons, either paneled or continuous, that print in combination
with each other to achieve 23 pre-defined blended colors, including
black. This is sometimes referred to as full color printing.
