1. A method of converting a CMYK Standard Color Printer to be a CMYW Converted White Printer, comprising the steps:
providing a CMYK Standard Color Printer; wherein the CMYK Standard Color Printer comprises: a black toner cartridge; wherein the black toner cartridge is installed in a first toner cartridge slot;
removing the black toner cartridge from the CMYK Standard Color Printer, such that the first toner cartridge slot is empty;
providing a white toner cartridge; installing the white toner cartridge into the empty first toner cartridge slot one; and
providing raster image processor (RIP) software, such that the CMYK Standard Color Printer is configured to incorporate a white toner into one or more images printed by the CMYK Standard Color Printer in a single pass and such that a CMYW Converted White Printer is created;
wherein the CMYK Standard Color Printer is a printer selected from the group of printers consisting of: Ricoh® M C250FW, Ricoh® M C250FWB, Ricoh® P C311W, and Ricoh® M C251FW.
