In this video presentation we're going to take a look at setting the white ink
for a file in Job Editor. Before I begin, I need to ensure that I'm using a media
that contains a white ink setting. And I have that selected in the upper right
corner for my media type. Next I'll open the file in Job Editor.
I'll make my selection of my choices. Open with job editor. In this example we're going to
print on a clear media and we need to put a white flood fill behind this file.
So again, we want to make sure that we're selecting a media choice that contains a
white ink. Our next step is to go to the color correction tab. Again, here we can
see spot one which is representing the white ink. This is just a display
color of yellow. Going to go to the tools button choice and I'm going to select
spot layer tool. The spot layer tool feature allows us to place or identify
where the white ink will be in the file in the case that it has not been
designed in the file. In this example this file does not contain a spot color
for white or a spot channel for white. So I need to designate and identify where
that white area will be. So in my spot layer tool I'm going to enable spot
later generation. You'll notice the spot layer channel that were working with is
called spot one, which may also be named white or could be silver. That name would
be determined at the point when we are generating the profile. Now we'll notice
that the setting is to none and we see no effect. However, in this pulldown
window I can choose my flood fill. Now we see the display color of yellow
which is representing our spot one white ink. We'll do a flood
fill of this whole entire graphic. I have other choices if I need to select fill
the image area. It's only going to put that white or spot one record behind the image information.
Conversely, I can select fill non-image area and again this is going to fill
everything where there is no image information in the file. So at this point
I'm going to go back to my flood fill option and submit my job to the RIP.
Let's take a look at another example. I'm going to open another file in Job Editor
and perform the similar steps of the spot layer tool to designate a flood fill for white.
So I'll start out in my color correction tab, go to tools, spot layer tool,
enable my spot layer generation feature and set this for my flood fill.
So it is very easy to designate the white ink or spot ink
flood fill controls if the file does not have that spot color identified in it.
Now I would submit my job to the RIP and print the file.
If you would like to automate this process, we can export a filter to control the flood fill settings.
To do this, I'm going to select filter, I'm going to select manager and
now i'm going to export out these conditions as a filter.
Save my changes to the file? Yes. Now I would browse to a directory where I want to place this filter.
In my example, I'm going to place this to the samples folder of the RIP software.
I have a folder identified that I created as color filters and I'm going
to save this in that folder. I would name this something appropriate
I'll call it white flood fill and save this out. Now, close and OK and I'm
finished with exporting out that filter for the white flood fill data. I'm going
to go ahead and submit this job to the RIP. Now we see our completed file.
Let's take a look at importing that filter, applying it as a Quick Set
and then talk about automating our processes. To create a Quick Set, we're
going to select configure printer. Our first tab is our Quick Sets and we are
going to select new, we'll name this Quick Set something appropriate.
To import the filter, we're going to go to the advanced button in the lower left corner of the menu.
Select color correction and then import that filter.
Browse to the location, select the filter and open it.
Note we have to select the filter. Click OK and ok again. Now we've made a Quick Set
that's going to perform that task of a flood fill for the white ink.
This is going to automate our process and we won't have to do this manually in job editor.
Let's go through that automated task. At this point I would just say open,
select one of my files, choose that Quick Set. No need to go to Job Editor.
That Quick Set is going to apply the conditions for flood fill and open the file into the RIP and process.
And now we see are completed files, ready to print.
