How To Access The Spot Layer Tool - Canon Arizona 2300 Series Operation Manual

Note Attention Caution
NOTE
Many of the Quick Set and Filter settings for a job can be overridden in RIP-Queue or Preflight, if
desired.
Procedure
This manual assumes that you have some experience with graphics applications and with
ONYX software. If you prefer a self-guided and hands-on tutorial, Customer Application Bulletin
22, "How to Use the Spot Layer Tool for White Ink Workflow" provides a simplified method to
print with white ink (it does not mention varnish, but the same principles apply). It guides you
through a simple tutorial that shows how to prepare an image for quick and easy white ink print
production with spot data. You will learn how to isolate the white area of your image in Illustra-
tor so that it will be recognized by the Spot Layer Tool and then printed as white by the printer.

How to Access the Spot Layer Tool

Procedure
1. Open a print job in Preflight using an ONYX profile (media model) that contains spot data
channels.
2. Select the Color Corrections tab.
3. Click on Tools and select Spot Layer Tool. This will open the feature set.
NOTE
If the Enable checkbox won't activate, the media you used to open the job has not been
configured with the Quality-Layered print mode. Create or Edit your media to support
spot ink in Media Manager before you open the job in Preflight (or download a white
ink media model from the web site).
