GIMPPRINT-INKTYPES(7)	    Gimp-Print Manual Pages	 GIMPPRINT-INKTYPES(7)

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.
