Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to electrophotographic image forming field, especially a kind of method utilizing color printer to realize low cost printing.
Background technology
Along with the development of electrophotographic image forming technology, color printer is popularized in a large number.Utilize color printer, printable go out color coloured image true to nature.In this color printer, the general colored carbon powder box being all provided with the black carbon powder box that holds black carbon powder and holding the colored carbon powder such as red, yellow, blue, due to the reason of the aspect such as manufacturing process and raw material, the cost of colored carbon powder is far above black carbon powder, therefore compared to black carbon powder box, the price of colored carbon powder box is high.And the client big city that have purchased color printer finds, in actual commercial process, generally all can not print coloured image, only carry out printing with black carbon powder and can meet routine work requirement completely.
When printing black document information, existing color printer has two kinds of printing models: the first is common print pattern; The second is black game of shuttlecocks watermark patterns.When printing black document information by the first pattern, each colored carbon powder also participates in the printing of black document information, and degree of participation is not 10% to 30% not etc.Therefore, when printing black document information with general mode, colored carbon powder with high costs is also consumed, thus printing cost is increased, and, due in print procedure, each cartridge all participates in work, when the carbon dust held in single cartridge is finished, color printer all cannot normally work, and can only change cartridge.When printing black document information by the second pattern, by the software that color printer is built-in, when being set to print black document, colored carbon powder box does not work, but when printing in this mode, compared to common black print engine, in color printer, the powder consumption of black carbon powder is very large, thus it is also higher to print cost, and black carbon powder runs out of and the cartridge that more renews of having to soon.Colored carbon powder box is lain idle for a long time, colored carbon powder may be caused to have crossed the term of validity, and cause the wasting of resources, indirectly too increase printing cost.
As known from the above, print cost all higher when printing black document information by these two kinds of printing models, as separately purchased a black print engine for reducing printing cost, the color printer purchased is thrown aside completely, also can cause the wasting of resources.Therefore need one that color printer can be utilized to realize low cost to print, and do not waste the method for resource.
Summary of the invention
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of method utilizing color printer to realize low cost printing.
