Which statement is correct about ColorLok?

Question

Options

• AIt reduces the total footprint of laser printers
• BIt allows replacing wood with oil for paper production, thus reducing deforestation
• CIt contributes to the environmental protection by superior de-inking and longer printer life.
• DDue to superior simplex printing, it reduces the total use of paper

• A
  8% (2)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  88% (23)

Explanation

ColorLok is a paper technology standard (originally developed by HP) that improves inkjet print quality through a special surface coating. Option C is correct because ColorLok paper is engineered for easier de-inking during paper recycling, making it more environmentally friendly to process, and the coating's ink-absorption properties reduce printer head clogging, contributing to longer printer life.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong - ColorLok is a paper standard, not a technology that affects the physical size or footprint of laser printers.
• B is wrong - ColorLok involves no substitution of wood with oil in paper manufacturing; this description is entirely fabricated.
• D is wrong - ColorLok has nothing to do with simplex (single-sided) printing. If anything, duplex (double-sided) printing reduces paper usage, not simplex.

Memory tip: Think of ColorLok's two environmental wins with the phrase "Recycle & Run Longer" - better recycling (de-inking) and longer printer life (less clogging). If an answer choice mentions something ColorLok can't control - like printer size or wood sourcing - eliminate it immediately.
