The Arizona Xpert application has default recipes installed. Below the default recipes are explained.
NOTE
When you use the recipes in Adobe Photoshop the design assets are defined as groups. The design assets in Adobe Illustrator are defined as Layers.
NOTE
Adobe Photoshop exports the application as a multi page PDF and Adobe Illustrator as a multi layered PDF.
With the [Block out sticker] recipe you can create a window sticker with text readable on both sides.
The PDF contains the colour image in a single page. The PDF doesn’t have to contain white or black masks. When producing the application, the white and black masks are automatically generated by the Arizona Xpert Engine based on the recipe.

The [Illuminated panel] recipe uses light blocking selectively across the image to allow more light through in some areas. When illuminated from behind, applications created with this recipe show a stunning effect. It is printed as double sided - all the colour information is printed on the back while high gloss varnish is printed on the front.

The [Prototype tiles] recipe prints your design directly onto the ultra-lightweight white Forex. The innovative use of Forex printing for prototyping allows the creation of beautiful tiles that are lightweight and easy to carry. Mounting multiple tiles on large boards provides an additional benefit compared to loose tiles.
First a gap is engraved between the tiles and the image is printed on top. As a result, you will not see a white gap between the tiles but you will get the impression of real tiles.
