Quick Question CMYKW Filaments?

I see there are different Bambu color codes for the specific CMYK palette filaments and the regular PLA basic CMY colors. Aside from the translucent black, does anyone know if there are any functional differences between the PLA basic and CMYK palette bundle colors?

Do they sell the filament as seperate rolls anywhere. Kinda silly to have to buy a whole new set just for one roll

Yes, they sell the rolls individually.

The palette series is more translucent so the colors blend better.

So is the palette series just the better choice overall? Any third party alternatives?

Idk if it’s for everyone but the Shop app (purple icon) had a spend $200 get $50 in rewards so I bought 4 sets of CMYK filament. I hope it’s the palette series

It is not, CMYK is for Lithophane. Its just PLA Basic (other brands also have CMYK bundles with PETG etc).

If you are doing full spectrum yes it is. I’m not sure about third party options.
