Specifications correct at October 2013 - subject to change without notice
There are issues with objects that use a ‘rich black’. The system is converting any black that uses more than 100% K. For example if you
pick a black that uses the following breakdown: C: 30 M: 30 Y: 30 K: 100 The system will convert it back to 100% K only. The conversion
only takes place on objects, not images. Please check all work to have either of the following readings for blacks:
OPTION 1 – STANDARD BLACK C:0 M: 0 Y: 0 K: 100
OPTION 2 – RICH BLACK – if using plates other than K, make the K 99% - all other plates can be of any value as long as they’re NOT equal
C: 30 M: 28 Y: 32 K: 99
