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.
