♦
You can quickly switch base and top foils by printing one chart with the new foil as
Base Foils, then click Swap Selection to automatically switch the base and top foils and
print the chart again.
♦
You should turn on Group by Base Foils to make the chart more readable.
Note: Do not select any foil colors in the list box that you do not have in your inventory. The
thermal printer will prompt for those foils and the Spectratone chart will not print properly.
The chart must be printed on white vinyl or clear enamel receptive to achieve a true Spectratone
color as defined in the Assign Colors dialog box. This should be the same material you use to
print the basic Spectratone chart.
Tip: If you print the chart on clear enamel receptive, you should turn on the Prime Base check
box in the Spectratone dialog box. If you do not prime the clear material, a colored substrate
surface such as a blue sign blank, can distort or change the Spectratone color.
There are two ways to print the chart
−
as a Spectratone color only (shown at the right) or both
the contributing colors plus the Spectratone color.
To view both colors plus the Spectratone color, turn on the Lead-in check box.
