Printer supplement
• Print mode
There are six ways to print White:
The spot color of this name or alias from a separated document prints White. This is the
default mode.
Every pixel which does not have CMYK = 0,0,0,0 on the printer side adds White
Every pixel in the image rectangle adds White. This is the recommended mode during
calibration and profile creation
Same as “Spot color WHITE_INK” but channel inversed
Reduces the amount of White for darker colors.
White off, even when it comes from the separated document
The options “Inked image” and “Bounding box” work regardless of whether the file is separated or not.
• White ink coverage
White ink coverage is an option that configures the amount of white ink relative to black. The available settings are
10%, 13%, 16%, 20%, 25%, 32%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 83%, 100%.
• Printing order
Since White is opaque, the printing order is important.
Prints White as the foundation color, then prints the other colors on top. This setting is
for printing on dark or metallic materials.
Prints White on top of other colors. This is for printing transparencies from the back.
Prints White, but no other color channels.
Prints three layers with white in the middle.
