6.3. I have a color head, can I print on VC paper?

Yes, you can. Again, get the datasheets of the paper - manufacturers of VC paper normally have color filtration values for the various grades. A starting point:

                       Grade 2       45M/9Y
                       Grade 2.5     65M/12Y
                       Grade 3       95M/15Y
                       Grade 3.5     120M/20Y
                       Grade 4       200M/30Y
                       Grade 5+      200M
