FASTBACK P-21 FOILFAST PRINTER USER’S MANUAL, L4079 Rev. B
PRINTING CLEAR COVERS WITH
THE FOILFAST® PRINTER (Windows)
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 47).
2. In the Printer Name selection menu, choose the Foilfast
printer and click ‘Properties.’
The Properties dialog box appears (Figure 48). Verify that
“Foilfast ClearCover” 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.
Note that when ClearCover is chosen, ‘Undercoat’ is
automatically checked. Do not uncheck this selection when
printing on Clear Cover. Make sure that the Foil Primer
cartridge is loaded into the Foilfast printer before proceeding.
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

Clear Cover should be loaded one at a time to avoid
jamming.
