What to do when replacing RGB=255 with RGB=254
RGB=255 is identified as a transparent color. To a portion where RGB=255 is contained, no ink will be ejected.
In order for the white ink to be printed, select an area for RGB=255, and replace it with RGB=254.
To make such replacement, use the method mentioned below.
(1)
On the menu bar, select [Layer] > [New Adjustment Layer] > [Selective Color], and create a new layer.
(2)
Set the opacity to 20%, and click [OK].
(3)
From the [Selective Color], make the following settings:
[Colors]: [Whites]
[Black]: 1%
Mark the [Absolute] option
<TIPS>
The method to replace RGB=255 with RGB=254 as shown above can be used only when the [Color mode] is set to [8 bit] of
[RGB Color].
For Photoshop, the action file "SolidWhite.atn" is made available in Useful Tools, which changes RGB=255 to RGB=254 (
