3.1 Expression of Colors and 4-Step Copy Process
A variety of colors can be expressed by mixing the
three primary colors : Yellow, magenta and cyan.
Red can be created by mixing yellow and magenta;
blue can be created by mixing magenta and cyan;
green is created by mixing cyan and yellow; and
mixing all the three primary colors allows you to
obtain black.
This equipment has accomplished to improve
reproducibility by adding black toner to the mixture
of the above three colors at proper ratio.
e-STUDIO3511/4511 adopts a revolver mechanism which combines the three developer units of yellow,
magenta and cyan. In this process, each image of cyan, magenta and yellow is developed in order by
rotating these developers and overlaid on the transfer belt one after another. Then the black image
developed by independent black developer unit is overlaid for the best expressions of colors. Four layers
of color image (K C M Y) on the transfer belt are transferred onto paper.
