Generation Options - Set Mask
The mask allows you to determine the area that you wish to print with spot data. Setting
the mask color is optional. If the image you are printing contains white or varnish data
in more than the mask area, you will need to set up a different background 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 460 and 480 printers have two spot channels available. The names that
appears here should be the ones you used to create the media in Media Manager. The
recommended spot channel names are: "Spot 1" and "Spot 2".
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.
