DUmping yellow Anonymous
I have this friend who was refilling his ink cartridge and accidentally put cyan in the yellow. He wants to know, what color is the color of yellow in the printers so that he can print that colour solid without dumping other colors? Here is a refit of the link model so that it prints out on one page, just to summarize how cheap i am. (In my defense being cheap is sort of a hobby for me so its ok.)

just buy a new cartridge, if you cant flush it out and refill.

There are two color schemes in wide use today, RGB and CMYK. RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue, and is used mostly for computer monitors and other screens.

CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. This is the color scheme used for printing. Most images online are kept in RGB color mode, even though they're meant for printing. This creates some color variations when sent to a printer, especially when some RGB colors simply can't be printed in CMYK.

As for the cartridge, your friend needs to buy a new one now. The problem is that you and your friend know there is cyan in the yellow section, but the printer and computer don't. Also, I don't know if you would be able to flush out the cartridge well enough to not have color contamination, but to also not mess up the contacts of the cartridge or any other component.

You can find pictures on Google of the CMYK color scheme to figure out the yellow necessary to print solid. The yellow is pretty close to the color of Link's hair in your pic, actually.

as always i worded my question wrongly. I was asking for the rgb value of the solid yellow in the cmyk format.

I rescently read a developer blog for gimp and he was talking about introducing cmyk so i presumed i didnt have it but i do have it just not for output, so yeah that problem is solved, btw i hope you guys refill cartridges, they hol soooo much more ink than you would realise, by default they are filled up with about a third of what the canister can hold so when you buy that ghetto refill you are actually getting about 20 to 30 times more ink. For the same price. Yeah.

just take out the other cartriges and print away, if they're seperate colors.
