How to Create a Media Model for White Ink
Introduction
You must have a media model that is configured for white ink with the Quality-Layered print
mode selected before you can successfully generate white ink output from ProductionHouse. This
section will explain how to create a new media model with all of the necessary configurations.
You can also edit an existing media model to change some of the settings and then save it with a
new name.
NOTE
ONYX ProductionHouse uses the term "media" to refer to what is called a "media model" in this
manual.
The creation of media models and profiling is a complex procedure that is only partly explained
here. If you are not comfortable with the procedure, you can use the pre-defined media models
posted on the DGS web site in the Customer Support area at https://dgs.oce.com. These media
models provide a good start point for the white ink workflow. However, we recommend that you
create your own new ones to ensure optimal success with your particular white ink workflow.
If you want to skip the media creation process, you can go directly to the "How to Print with White
Ink" section for instructions on how to use the media models supplied on the web site. However,
you will be limited by the particular white ink workflow and the media that those models support.
Also, unless you simply want to use a white flood fill, you will need images that are prepared
with white spot data (see the nearlier section, How to Prepare Images for White Ink).
NOTE
Most of the media settings can be overridden in Preflight or RIP-Queue, if desired.
Purpose
The media you create for white ink use is actually a description of how you will use that media in
the white ink workflow. It includes a white spot color channel and a description of the layers in
the image and the order those layers will print. The media you create is actually part of a media
model (sometimes referred to as a profile) that contains other specific information such as ink
restrictions, linearization, ink limits and ICC profiles. This section will look briefly at how to create
and use a media model, but the main focus is on how to create the media. The media is essential
to white ink workflow, and the rest of the media model creation simply ensures optimal image
quality.
NOTE
The term "media" can be confusing as it really has two meanings in the context of your Onyx
workflow. In general use it refers to a physical material that you can print on. ProductionHouse
uses the term media to refer to the definition of how a particular material is used and included
within a media model that you define and then use when you open a print job.
Before you begin
Before you create a new media you must set up your printer to enable white ink configurations in
Onyx Media Manager.
1. In the RIP-Queue, highlight your printer and click > Media Manager.
2. Click > Configure Devices > Configure Printer Capabilities and enable the white ink
configurations (CMYKW) from the ink configuration menu.
