234 Chapter 22:
Strokes ⎯ Adding Print Thickness to the Outline of Objects
Stroke Types
♦ None ⎯ this is the default, turns strokes off
♦ Clear ⎯ utilizes the underlying vinyl color in the design. Clear strokes simulate a foil
in Composer, but a foil is not requested at the printer. Clear strokes can also be used to
make an object slightly smaller for color registration purposes.
♦ Solid ⎯ this prints a single, uniform color.
Color Type
A stroke can be filled with spot, process, or Spectratone colors, or can be clear (no fill). Strokes
cannot be gradients.
♦ Spot foil ⎯ prints a single color chosen from one of the spot foil palettes. You can
apply a single percentage tint to the entire stroke. If a Spectratone is used on a stroke,
you cannot apply different percentage tints to the top and base colors.
♦ Process foil ⎯ prints a color based on CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color
model
Foil Palette
Choose Spot or Process from the Color Type group box and select a palette from the dropdown
list.
Color Selection
Choose and assign a stroke color from the chosen palette. For spot colors, you can assign a tint
percentage between 0 and 100%.
Halftone
If a spot color percentage tint or process color is used, a higher LPI setting is suggested to
reduce the dot size when printing. You can access the Edit Halftones dialog box by clicking
Menu > Halftones from the Assign Colors dialog box. For more information on altering
halftones refer to "Choosing Halftones."
