Abstract

A method of converting a CMYK printer to print with a non-standard toner, comprising the steps: providing a CMYK toner printer; wherein the CMYK toner printer may have four toner printing cartridges, wherein three of the four toner printing cartridges may be color printing cartridges comprising a cyan toner printing cartridge, a magenta toner printing cartridge, and a yellow toner printing cartridge; removing one or more of the color toner printing cartridges from the toner printer, such that there may be one or more empty toner printing cartridge positions; providing one or more non-standard toner printing cartridges; and installing the one or more non-standard toner printing cartridges into the one or more empty toner printing cartridges.
