Viewing the Colors Available For a Palette

Go to the /Demos/Palette.

In the Palette print, there are 256 squares, numbered 0
through 255, each showing one of the colors available
for selection in the printer's internal palettes. The
example below is color 7 (cyan), which is assigned to
pen 7 in the factory's default palette.

Note that RGB and CMYK - plus white - are assigned
by default to pens 0 through 7, and that eight
grayscales are included in the 256 colors.

The 256 colors shown in the Palette Print are not the
only colors you can print with your printer! Using your
software, you can create many more colors and, as
long as you are using the correct driver, the printer will
reproduce these colors by an appropriate mix of inks
from it’s CMYK ink cartridges. The Palette Print merely
shows the 256 colors available for use in the printer’s
internal palettes, should you choose to use them.

RGB composition, scaled to 255 = 100%. In this example,
