How can I print with just black ink?
Hi all,
I have a versacamm 300sp running coreldraw14 and colorip 2.2.
I would like to print a raster logo with just black ink – I am trying to reproduce a raster logo but the original I was given has much darker blacks than the one I am printing now. I think I can improve the quality just by printing with black ink.
Any ideas on how I can do this?Thanks

Hi Clive, as far as i am aware you are not able to print just black, as the printer creates black from the colours.
If you are wanting a deeper black then change the colour values in the design to
R-0
G-0
B-0Hope that helps?
cheers

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I would of thought that to print black you could either do it using CMYK OR just the black.I can’t seem to be able to improve the quality on this one…..

I’m afraid I don’t know ColorRip at all, but in VersaWorks, there is an option to choose "Density Control Only" from a Color Management drop-down list on the Quality tab.
That might give you a clue for something to look for?
What are the upgrade options to SP300i and the possibility of using VersaWorks?
Good luck

under special colours you can force a colour it will give you a list of colours and you alter the output for the black to 255K
this will now only print 100% black with a 100% black input bypassing the profile.
understand that lot then please explain it back to me.
try it but you may be disappointed with the result although its done whats you have asked.
other way is add 40% cyan to the black cmyk in corel.

When we need dense black, we apply 100K 20C 20Y 20M into the mix
