X2 Inks are pigmented, oil-based, and designed 
specifically for use with X2 printers and supplies. 
These inks are formulated to be smudge resistant 
and instant drying. The color gamut is based on the 
SWOP (Standard Web Offset Printing) standards for
press-quality, color  graphics, versatility and easy 
color calibration. The inks do not require any special
drying time after printing. 

6-color printing adds two tonal inks, Light Cyan and 
Light Magenta, to the typical suite of 4-color process
printing (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). It helps
reduce the gradient perception between dithered 
process color shifts, or “smooths out” blended areas 
of an image by introducing lighter tones of the colors
that construct the blend. For example, skin tones 
appear more true because the color of the dots that 
create the image on paper are not as dark from one 
percentage to the next. 

Because the X2 inks are almost instantly dry when 
printed, images can be laminated immediately. 
However, X2 prints are NOT waterproof.  That is, 
they CANNOT be submerged in water or subjected 
to running water. Finishing guidelines for outdoor 
durability (i.e. prints must be encapsulated) must be 
followed when constructing a print for outdoor use.  
Refer to your ColorgrafX X2 Inkjet Graphics 
Applications Guide for specific application 
requirements. 
Caution:  

ColorgrafX authorized inks, media or 

other supplies are designed and quality tested to 
assure optimum performance from your X2 printer. 
Other materials may not produce the same quality 
product and may, in some cases, cause service 
problems or damage to your unit.
