Selecting Special Settings Special settings are provided that allow you to select the amount of ink used in steps. You can fix lackluster colors or bleeding ink by selecting special settings where the amount of ink used is suitable for the paper you are using. "Special 1" uses the least amount of ink, with the amount of ink used increasing through 5 steps as the number increases up to "Special 5" which uses the greatest amount of ink.
