How to Use Media Models to Print With White Ink
Introduction
You must use a media that is configured for white ink before you can generate white ink
output from ProductionHouse to print on your Océ Arizona 350 GT printer with the
white ink option. The media is actually part of a media model description (sometimes
referred to as a profile) that contains other specific information such as ink restrictions,
linearization, ink limits and ICC profiles. The creation of media models and profiling is
a complex procedure that is partly explained elsewhere in this document
a Media for White Ink Print Jobs' on page
dure, you can use the pre-defined media models posted on the DGS web site. These
media models can be found at http://www.dgs.oce.com/PrinterSupport/ in the Customer
Support area. The media models provide a good start point for the white ink workflow.
Generally we advise that you create a new or edit an existing media model with your on-
site printer and the specific materials you use for print jobs. However, for your conve-
nience, we have provided this set of default White Ink Workflow media models that en-
compass a few different common print scenarios. This section includes descriptions of
each media model and provides an illustration of how print jobs generated with them in
ProductionHouse will look in your printer's Print Job Control module. There is also
some explanation of how they are to be used.
Note:
The term "media" can be confusing as it really has two meanings in the context of your
Onyx workflow. In general use it refers to a physical material that you can print on.
Onyx uses the term media to refer to the defintion of how a particular material is used
and included within a media model that you define and then use when you open a print
job. Another point of confusion is that media models are sometimes called Profiles.
From the Océ Arizona 350 GT perspective, ICC Profiles are a part of the media model
associated with color management and are not the whole media model.
How to Use a Media Model
Onyx RIP Queue, ProductionHouse, and PosterShop, all use a media format known as
an Onyx Media Library (.oml). To install an .oml, select the Océ Arizona 350 GT
printer and open the Onyx Media Manager. In Media Manager, select Media> Import,
and browse to the media. Once imported the media will be available to any print jobs
that you open.
