SPOT-COLOR INSTRUCTIONS

1.       Bar-code of spot color inks are No.0, which is same as Black ink (MDC-FLCK, MDC-FLK3). In other words, MD printers recognize the Spot Color ink as Black ink.

Note: Spot-Colors are unable to be printed on decal paper sharp and clearly at 600dpi and 2400dpi Black printing.

2.       In order to set-up 1200dpi printing follow the directions below, to print with good resolution:

Printer Properties…

Document Type: Grayscale

Media type: Laser Paper

Check 'Print On Backside'. You must stop the paper curl reforming process by checking 'print on Backside'.

Print Settings…

Print Mode: Standard Color

More Settings...-->Print Quality

Resolution: 1200 dpi

Please note that [Paper Source (Automatic Feed or Manual Feed)] should be the same as the printing of other inks. You can manually select it at Paper tab.

Do not use “Stop Curl” process for decal printing.

Under Printing Properties, check 'Print On Backside'. Check “paper curl” to turn-off. 'Print On Backside' also turns off “paper curl” as well.

To print with the best resolution on decal paper, re-label bar-code to one of the Metallic colors, such as Metallic Gold MDC-METG, Metallic Silver MDC-METS, Metallic Red MLC-SMTR or Metallic Blue MLC-SMTB, so you can print the Lime Green on the decal paper clearly.

Please note: Bar-code labels from used ink cartridges should be attached firmly using double faced adhesive tape.

3. Overprinting works only when the Spot-Color Inks are used over other ink such as Cyan MDC-FLCC, Magenta MDC-FLCM and Yellow MDC-FLCY. Do not attempt to print over Spot Color Inks as other ink will not adhere correctly.

4. Same as original Alps inks, there is no problem with clear lacquer finish, water-base clear and urethane coating.
