This section shows you how to print a simple job with a white flood fill. Océ Arizona Quality-Layered print mode is used to print white ink applications such as under-printing for non-white media, over-printing for backlit applications viewed 2nd surface or as middle layer for a day-night application. The following section provides more detail about the various options available when printing with white ink.
This exercise will help you get familiar with some of the basic concepts involved when you print images with white ink.
Obtain and import an ONYX media profile (media model) that is set to Quality-Layered print mode.
NOTE
Sample Media profiles for white and all other inks are available for download from the DGS website: https://dgs.oce.com.
To define a white flood layer, modify the printer settings of a processed job in RIP Queue - right click the job, edit printer settings, select Quality-Layered for the Printer Print mode, then select Define Layers.
If you want to print first surface (e.g. opaque media) the bottom and middle layers can be configured to be white flood layers and the top layer to be a CMYK data layer. If you want to print second surface (e.g., transparent media viewed from side that does not have ink on it), then the bottom layer should be a CMYK data layer and the middle and top layers white flood layers.
