Printing Mode To prevent oversaturation when mixing Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y) & Black (K) ink drops on paper, the amount of ink applied will vary depending on the printer model, type of paper and resolution used . Table 5 to 9 summarize the limitation of ink duty in the different print modes for the different printers. The amount of ink drop varies when printing with one ink, two inks, or three inks combination. The combination of two ink drops of either C, M, Y, will produce Red, Green or Blue color, known as RGB.
