Hi,
I'm just experimenting with my inkjet printer.
Main question:
Is there any way I can make it output a solid shade of a single ink colour, i.e. not mix the inks? And for example, just output the light cyan ink, or the yellow ink, etc? For example, outputting a solid block of light magenta.
I have access to paint shop pro, photoshop and GIMP. The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R285 with 6 inks.
Probably not important, but there are quite a few reasons I'd like to do this -
1) Use up remaining ink of a certain colour
2) Hopefully achieve brighter colours when I'm looking for a colour close to one of that of the inks
3) Unclog the heads for a certain colour without making the printer clean all inks, wasting inks of all colours.
4) Just for curiosity knowing what each ink colour looks like on paper
5) And just for the sake of knowing if it's possible!
Thanks!
Jody
