How to Create a White Flood Fill Layer
Introduction
When working with white ink you can choose the workflow that best fits your needs. There are
three main approaches to white ink workflow with your printer:
•
Flood Fill Layer
- uses the Flood Fill Layer Configuration.
• Onyx Spot Layer Tool - generate the white spot data in ProductionHouse.
• Spot Data (pre-defined) - spot data is created in image editing application such as Adobe
Illustrator or PhotoShop.
This section documents the Flood Fill Layer approach. The next two sections document the other
two approaches.
Purpose
The Flood Fill Layer allows you to print an image with a white flood fill as an underlay an overlay.
The edges of the image bounding box (the outer perimeter of the image) will determine the
extent of the flood fill area.
When to do
This approach is used when an image to be printed is rectangular in shape and requires a white
flood fill. The printer itself provides the white flood fill rather than the ONYX Spot Layer Tool or
an image editing application, so no additional data preparation is required.
NOTE
If jobs are nested in the ONYX software, white is printed between jobs when you use this
technique because the outer extent of the entire nested job is used to define the flood area.
Procedure
1. Open the print job in ProductionHouse and use a media that includes the Quality-layered print
mode.
NOTE
The file must be sized at the final output dimensions required for the flood.
2. Define one of the data layers as a white flood layer.
To define a layer as a white flood layer first select Quality-Layered as the Printer Print Mode, then
select Define Layers and finally define a white flood layer.
Layers can be defined at any of the following locations when a job is processed:
• Defined in the media when the media is created - Mode Options
• Selected in a Quick Set - Media Options
• Modify the printer settings of a processed job in RIP Queue - right-click the job, edit printer
settings.
