Black Printing __________________________
General Information
NOTE
To use Black Generation, Office Color or GraphicPro must be the
selected Print Mode.
Your printer prints the color black in one of two ways:
• Composite Black
• True Black
Composite Black
The cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners are
combined to create composite black.
Use composite black when printing photographs.
Composite Black can appear as a brownish-black.
True Black
Only black toner is used to print true black.
Use True Black when printing a combination of text and
graphics.
If you use True Black to print photographs, dark sections
of the photos may appear black.
