How to Create Spot Data with the Spot Layer Tool
image is on a white background and the default (white) mask is used, this option will
creates a fill for all white data.
Choke and Spread
Choke reduces the outer edge of the underlay. Use choke when you want to eliminate
white from peeking out of the edge of your image. Spread increases the outer edge of the
underlay fill. Use spread when you want a deliberate halo around the edge of your image.
Choke and Spread work in tandem. Each mark on the slider represents 1 pixel width of
choke or spread up to 10 pixels (+-) .The actual preview in Preflight is exaggerated from
what is printed. This exaggerated display makes it easier for you to see the results from
moving the slider. When you use the Spot Layer Tool for masks, we recommend a choke
value of 3 ticks.
Diffuse Edge
Use this option when you want a gradual transition from the underlay to the mask to
create a soft edge for the fill. We do not recommend use of this option.
Filter
Once you've defined your settings, save them by exporting a Filter to use on similar jobs.
Filters are a global color correction that can be applied to Quick Sets to automate the
printing process for multiple jobs that use the same
Sets' on page
Note:
Many of the Quick Set and Filter settings for a job can be overridden in RIP-Queue or
Preflight, if desired.
