Hi, I could use some help. I have been trying to print on transparency papers to use for heat transfers and the toner just isn't coming out thick enough. (which then ends up requiring a second pass and the print never lines up properly so that isn't an option) 

 

So I have looked at the settings in the web interface for the printer  and to say it is confusing is an understatement...   there are four adjustments up to +5, one for each C,M,Y,K   and then there are four headings as well,  Highlights, midtones, contrast and shadows.  So a total of 16 drop down menus that can be adjusted.

 

The problem I am having is, mostly I want the K to come out thicker, but if I start increasing the K setting on any of the four headings... it starts printing the entire image in ALL black, including the colours are replaced with black. Its not entirely clear what the four headings exactly are either.

 

So when I print images that are C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=100    I need the K to come out almost as if it were set to 200 somehow. If that is even possible?

 

Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated!
