printer so that its front end goes about 20 cm (8 in.) from the starting edge of the print area.

Prepare the image files for printing.
After drawing an image using application software such as Adobe Illustrator, you need to create two PS files - one
for printing the white layer of the image, and the other for printing the CMYK layer of the image. In the following
procedures, it is assumed that you use the following files for printing: "Flag_Color.ps" which contains CMYK layer
of the image, and "Flag_White.ps" which contains white layer of the image.
