Abstract:
A printer apparatus comprises one or more ports (2011 to 201M) for receiving one or more colorant units (INK1 to INKN), and a processing unit. The processing unit is adapted to determine which one or more colorant units (INK1 to INKN) have been loaded into the printer apparatus. The processing unit is adapted to retrieve colorant information from each loaded colorant unit (INK1 to INKN), and determine an ink-set configuration using the colorant information retrieved from each loaded colorant unit (INK1 to INKN). Operation of the printer apparatus is configured according to the determined colorant-set configuration.
