Default How do I print pinks and light blues on T Jet II?

I've noticed that it seems almost impossible to print a nice pink (usually more like a hot pink or fushia) or a light blue (more like the cyan).

I'm thinking it is because I don't have the LM, LC, & LB cartridges. Instead, I have the white ink setup.

Am I correct or is there a way to be able to pint light blues and light to medium pinks?

Thanks!!

John

Have you tried printing the color swatch that US Screen put up awhile ago or making a color pallete? I made one for myself and printed it onto several shirts colors to find the color values that gave me the best results

Not yet...

I downloaded them a while back but never got around to doing that.

I would like to do that.

But, is it possible to print pinks and light blues without the LM, LC, & LB cartridges??

Yes it uses the CMYK to create those colors still. Yea you get a small color gamut then if you were printing the LC LM & LK but you are still going to be able to get those colors you want or pretty darn close
