Re: saving color wax on 8400 by using just black as much as possible

Jump to solution

The "solution" just prints black & white, so you do need to print in 2 passes and only use it in a graphics-software-separated K channel pass, with the CMY pass containing all the CMY, but this actually gives you the chance to just print CMK in 2 passes with the Phaser, and use something cheaper than the yellow qubes for the Phaser for the Y - in a 3rd pass.

I noticed a "Black and White" option under "TekColor Correction" under "PostScript Setup" under "Printer Setup" on the front panel.

Hi again!

 

You'll only have this option if you're using the PS driver and not the PCL driver.

I do not see "color correction" in printer properties.

I should make it clear that I have a Xerox Phaser 8400DP.

I have an 8400DP and I am not sure how to turn off color from the Linux driver.  Also, I can't figure out how to turn down color usage for sure; I noticed that gray areas are being filled in by multi-color dots; does anyone know how get it to print just black dots in gray areas (all K in the CMYK from black and the color ink sticks for only the CMY)?
