User guide introduction

It is often desirable to print with spot color inks in addition to the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow,
and Black (CMYK) process colors. The HP Indigo presses enable you to use such special
inks. The HP IndiChrome ink mixing system (IMS) gives you the capability of preparing
the special ink you require by mixing inks from a set of basic inks. Because the inks are
specially tailored to customer requirements, the inks are referred to as custom inks.
This user guide is suitable for the following HP Indigo presses and Indigo presses:
