Moniker has 4 colour drums: Black Bright Red, Medium Blue, and Riso Green. At first this may seem limited, however the colour charts below show the many possibilities achievable when adjusting and layering opacities.

colour spectrum

Paper choice can also play a huge role in how the colour prints. Papers with a smooth finish will achieve a more solid looking colour, whereas a paper with more tooth, such as a cotton rag or drawing paper will have a different texture to the print.
