Print mode
There are six ways to print White:
Name
Meaning
Spot color WHITE_INK
The spot color of this name or alias from a separated document prints White. This is the
default mode.

Every pixel which does not have CMYK = 0,0,0,0 on the printer side adds White
Bounding box
Every pixel in the image rectangle adds White. This is the recommended mode during
calibration and profile creation
White_INVERSE
Same as “Spot color WHITE_INK” but channel inversed
Ink chroma map
Reduces the amount of White for darker colors.
Off
White off, even when it comes from the separated document
The options “Inked image” and “Bounding box” work regardless of whether the file is separated or not.
