+.TH GIMPPRINT\-INKTYPES 7 "@RELEASE_DATE@" "Version @GIMPPRINT_VERSION@" "Gimp-Print Manual Pages"
+.SH NAME
+gimpprint\-inktypes \- Gimp-Print inkset types
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Gimp-Print supports many different inksets, which are printer type specific.
+The option names are case sensitive. Two names are listed for each resolution;
+the first (short) name is the \fIinktype\fP, and the second (long) name is
+descriptive. Not all ink types are supported on all printers.
+.SH INK TYPES
+.SS Epson and Lexmark (other than the 4076) printers
+Six color printers can print using four color inks or all six colors. Six
+color mode is recommended for photographs. Four color mode may be useful when
+printing text with embedded graphics to reduce ink consumption, or to print
+higher quality with Ordered, Fast, or Very Fast dithering (see below).
+.PP
+The "Composite" modes use only color inks (no black) to produce all colors and
+black. These ink types are rarely useful, but on certain types of paper they
+may produce a smoother image than that produced by mixing black ink in. The
+Epson Stylus Color 1500 cannot mix black ink with colored inks; on this
+printer, Three Color Composite must be used.
