## Content

On a four-channel printer, the physical white-ink slot is fixed. The client-side control that prevents changing that slot is not implemented yet, so verify the mapping before printing.

Yink-side feathering is available for Epson only when the driver and DPI support it; Hoson feathering is handled by the controller.

## Current system catalog \[#current-system-catalog]

See the [supported printer catalog](https://yinkstudio.com/printers/) for current model counts, printhead groups, compatible models, and paid-plan support. The catalog is generated from the desktop configuration; it is the source of truth for current printer availability.

> Every printer and resolution needs compatible ink, ICC, and density settings. The preset ink channel mapping is the recommended mapping for the selected printer profile. On a four-channel machine, the white physical channel is fixed and cannot be changed. Enforcement of the white-channel lock in the client UI is pending.
