Various Printing Operations

Step 1

❿

Create the Full Color + Spot Color Print Image

Create the full color and spot color data to be printed.

It is not necessary to prepare the spot color and full color im-
ages separately as with full color + spot color printing using
Overlay mode. The data is prepared on the same page. Ar-
eas to be printed with spot ink and those to be printed in full
color are indicated by their respective screen colors.

Note

There is a small range of color composition values that will be
interpreted by the printer as indicating spot colors. Because of
this, photographs and other data with large numbers of differ-
ent colors may have areas that match the spot color designa-
tions and print partially in spot color. When printing images that
contain data such as photos, it is best to print full color + spot
color using Overlay mode.

Set the image areas to be printed in spot color to colors
that correspond to the spot colors you want to use.
