How to Create Spot Data with the Spot Layer Tool
color not used anywhere else in the file to use as your mask. This must be done in an
image-editing program prior to bringing the image into the Spot Layer Tool.
To set the mask color: Click the sample box to activate the color picker or use the drop-
down arrow to pick the color from the preview.
Generation Options - Media Color Handling
If you have set a media color, you have three options for how you would like the media
color to be handled. The term "Knockout" means to remove from the selection. If you've
set a media color, chances are you want some portion of the design to be removed to use
the media color. These are the option you have to choose from:
• No Knockout - If you've set a media color to help you visualize your output, choose
this option. This will print the image and spot data with no knockout.
• Spot Knockout - If you choose this option, RIP-Queue removes the spot data any-
where the image data matches the media color that you set. Use this option when you
want to knockout the spot data but still print the image data that matches the media
color.
• Full Knockout - If you choose this option, RIP-Queue removes the spot data and
the image data anywhere the image data matches the media color that you set. Use
this option when you want to knockout the spot data and the image data, allowing
the media to fully show through.
Spot Channel
The Océ Arizona 350 GT has only one spot channel available. The name that appears

Flood Fill
This option generates a flood fill for the entire image by combining the underlay and
mask fills together. When you check this option, the underlay and mask fill sliders lock
together and are set at 100%. You can change the opacity for the flood fill by moving
either of the sliders.
Underlay Fill Opacity
This option generates a fill in the selected spot channel where image data exists. The fill
will be generated anywhere image data does not match the mask. For example, if your
image is on a white background and the default (white) mask is used, this option will
create a fill for all non-white data.
Mask Fill Opacity
This option generates a fill in the selected spot channel where mask data exists. The fill
will be generated anywhere the image data matches the mask color. For example, if your
