Look at any mag under an eyegalss and you'll see the individual colour dots. When you use a printer that has a "colour" cartridge, or a "tri-colour" cartridge, it simply means that inside that one cartridge are 3 different inks -cyan magenta and yellow. These are the base colours needed to reproduce all others, but you get a better result when you add black (proveds better contrast) and then an even better result when you add aditional colours like "light cyan" or "light magenta" which help create a better rnage of colours when doing photo prints. Hence more expensive photoprinters are 6 or even 8 colours and some very expensive ones even add in additonal types of black to better create dynamic rnage in the greys. |
