Color Option
• Multi-Pass Black
When this box is checked, black is created us-
ing all four inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black), so that the black portions of a color pho-
tograph or other graphic are blended more natu-
rally. When Photographs or Metallic with Full

If you select Photographic Paper from the Paper

matically provided. It is recommended to print
with the overcoat. However, if printing with the
overcoat is not desired, click the Color tab, and
then uncheck the Use Overcoat check-box in the
Option setting.
