NAME
gimpprint-inktypes - Gimp-Print inkset types
DESCRIPTION
Gimp-Print supports many different inksets, which are printer type spe‐
cific. The option names are case sensitive. Two names are listed for
each resolution; the first (short) name is the inktype, and the second
(long) name is descriptive. Not all ink types are supported on all
printers.
INK TYPES
Epson and Lexmark (other than the 4076) printers
Six color printers can print using four color inks or all six colors.
Six color mode is recommended for photographs. Four color mode may be
useful when printing text with embedded graphics to reduce ink consump‐
tion, or to print higher quality with Ordered, Fast, or Very Fast
dithering (see below).
The "Composite" modes use only color inks (no black) to produce all
colors and black. These ink types are rarely useful, but on certain
types of paper they may produce a smoother image than that produced by
mixing black ink in. The Epson Stylus Color 1500 cannot mix black ink
with colored inks; on this printer, Three Color Composite must be used.
