Print White Ink Jobs
Introduction
White Ink can be printed in two ways:
•
Multiple Layers
- Using a Quality-Layered print mode
Arizona Quality-Layered print mode is used to print white ink applications such as under-
printing for non-white media, over-printing for backlit applications viewed 2
nd
surface or as
middle layer for a day-night application.
• Single Layer - Using any non Quality-Layered print mode that has been made with a CMYKSS
ink configuration with spot colors defined.
Print modes other than Quality-Layered mode can also be used to print only white ink as long
as the ONYX media profile (media model) has been made with a CMYKSS ink configuration
with spot colors defined.
NOTE
When you print white ink using a print mode other than Quality-Layered, we
recommend that you don't print white ink in the same area of an image as CMYK
inks. The white ink does not mix well with the other ink colors.
Print a Multiple Layer Print Job with White Ink
For Quality-Layered print mode jobs:
1. Create spot data in a design application. See
Create Spot Data in Adobe Illustrator
on
page 131 or
Create Spot Data in Photoshop
on page 128 .
NOTE
Not required if only printing white ink using a printer generated white flood or
using the ONYX Spot Layer Tool to create spot data (step 3).
2. Open the job in ONYX workflow software using an ONYX media profile that has been made
using the Quality-Layered print mode (See
Configure ONYX Thrive for White Ink
on
page 117 ).
3. Create underlay or overlay spot data using the ONYX Spot Layer Tool. See
Create Spot Data
with the Spot Layer Tool
on page 123
NOTE
Not required if only printing white ink using a printer generated white flood or
using spot data created in a design application (step 1).
4. If the desired layer definitions have not been predefined in the ONYX media profile or
Quickset, select "Hold for Operator" prior to submitting the job to be printed, so that the job
will not automatically be sent to the printer.
