Print an application with [FLXfinish+ spots] 

Introduction

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

The gloss data must be present as spot data named Gloss in the PDF.

NOTE

In order to create FLXfinish+ applications, a CMYKSS profile with a FLXfinish+ print mode is needed.

Procedure

  1. Launch the ONYX Thrive RIP Queue.
  2. Open a PDF that you want to print using the [FLXfinish+ layers] recipe.
    NOTE

    The PDF must contain a single page with spot data named: 'Gloss'. These elements will be printed in gloss.

  3. Select the PDF and click on the [PRISMAguide] button.
  4. Select the [FLXfinish+ spots] recipe.

    The [Overview] tab opens.

  5. Open the [Layers] tab.

    The recipe automatically assigns the correct settings per layer and merges the two layers.

    NOTE

    A FLXfinish+ application can only have one [Front] layer when you submit to ONYX Thrive.

    If you want to check the separate layers, click the button [Unmerge layer].
