A. SINGLE COLOR PRINTING
IMPORTANT:
The printing procedures for Adobe programs
(Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) are slightly different from the
printing procedures for non-Adobe programs. Because of the
common use of Adobe Illustrator with the Foilfast, both sets of
procedures are given here.
NOTE:
When printing in single color mode, the colors that
appear in you artwork do not matter. All artwork will print in
the chosen foil color. If, for instance, you have created your
artwork in black, but you choose red foil to print. All artwork
will appear in red instead of black If you have used more than
one color in your artwork, all colors will print in the specified
color when single color printing is chosen.
1. Choose Print from File menu.
The main Print dialog box appears (Figure 35).
2. In the Printer Name selection menu, choose the Foilfast
printer and click ‘Properties.’
The Properties dialog box appears (Figure 36). Verify that
“Foilfast Comp Cover-HIGH” is selected in the Media Type
box, and that “Single Ink” is chosen in the Print Mode. For
Comp covers printing in single color Gold foil, the default
settings should need no adjustment. If you are printing in a color
other than Gold, Click on the button next to the desired color
under ‘Select Cartridge(s).’ For more information on the choices
in this dialog box, see
About Printing Properties
, Chapter VII.
3. Click ‘OK.’
The Print dialog box appears (Figure 35).

Properties dialog box. Adjust the number of copies as
required.

NOTE:
If you are using Comp cover, you may load up to ten
sheets at a time in the paper feed. Clear Cover and Fastback
Title sheets should be loaded one at a time to avoid jamming.
