How-To Topics
Topcoat Add Statement
The topcoat add statement
prints topcoat in the area defined in the statement
.
All other areas of the card do not have topcoat. All full-color printing must be
covered with topcoat. Use this option with care.
The topcoat add statement begins with
~TA%
Examples:
~TA%0 0 86.5 37?
Topcoat is applied to one large area of
the card and any topcoat setting in
Preferences are not used.
~TA%16.8 0 37.1 5;30.5 45.23 15 15?
Printing is blocked in two areas and any
topcoat setting in Preferences is not used.
Topcoat Remove
With a topcoat remove escape, the topcoat is omitted in the areas defined by the
escape.
•
The topcoat remove statement begins with
~TR%
•
Each blocking area is defined as a series of four values (in millimeters)
separated by a space: top left width height.
•
A
semicolon (;) is used to separate topcoat rectangles if more than one area is
specified within the same escape.
For example: ~TR% rect1top rect1left rect1width rect1height;rect2top rect2left
rect2width rect2height?
•
After the last rectangle, the ? character is used to end the escape sequence.
