ABSTRACT:
Apparatus include an inkjet pen with a body that defines a first ink reservoir configured to contain a first ink, and a second ink reservoir configured to contain a second ink. A print head is also included, and is operatively supported by the body, wherein the first ink reservoir and the second ink reservoir are each selectively connectible in fluidic communication with the print head. Methods of providing ink for an imaging process include providing an inkjet pen with a first ink reservoir and a second ink reservoir. A first ink with a relatively high color saturation of a given color is placed into the first ink reservoir. A second ink with a relatively low color saturation of the given color is placed into the second ink reservoir.
