Print an application with [FLXfinish+ layers] 

Introduction

With the [FLXfinish+ layers] recipe you can print a job that is printed partly in matte and partly in gloss.

The gloss mask must be present as a separate Gloss layer in the PDF.

NOTE

In order to use FLXfinish+ applications, a profile with a FLXfinish+ resolution is needed.

Procedure

  1. Open PRISMAguide XL Engine via the shortcut on your desktop or start menu.
  2. Click on [New job]
  3. Select the [FLXfinish+ layers] recipe.
  4. The [Overview] tab opens.

    Check / select the settings for:

    • [Media size]

    • [Preset]

    • [Media]

    • [Resolution]

    • [Mode]

  5. Click on [Select file].
  6. Open a PDF that you want to print using the [FLXfinish+ layers] recipe.
    NOTE

    The PDF must contain 2 layers, one layer named: 'Artwork' and one layer named: 'Gloss'.
