How to Prepare White Ink Print Jobs

Introduction
When working with white ink choose the workflow that best fits your needs from three main
approaches:
1. Printer Flood Fill Mode - uses the Printer Flood Fill Configuration.
2. ONYX Spot Layer Tool - generate the white spot data in ONYX ProductionHouse or Thrive.
3. Spot Data (pre-defined) - spot data is created in image editing application such as Adobe
Illustrator, InDesign, or Photoshop.
The sections that follow explain how to prepare images for the three different workflow
approaches.

How to Setup a Printer Flood Fill

Prepare a Printer Flood Fill
With the Printer Flood Fill approach, white ink is set up as a layer that is embedded in the print
job.
Purpose
The Printer Flood Fill mode allows you to print an image with a white flood fill as an underlay or
an overlay. The edges of the image bounding box (the outer perimeter of the image) will
determine the extent of the flood fill area.
When to do
This approach is used when an image is rectangular in shape and requires a white flood fill. The
printer itself provides the flood fill rather than the ONYX Spot Layer Tool or an image editing
application, so no additional data preparation is required.
NOTE
If jobs are nested in the ONYX software, white is printed between jobs when you use this
technique because the outer extent of the entire nested job is used to define the flood area.
