NOTE
The generation options are used in combination with the fill options,
except when the media color handling is set to "No Knockout". If you want
to use the Spot Layer Tool to create flood fills, underlay fills or mask fills it
is not always necessary to set a mask or media color to get the desired
results.
To set the media color: Click the sample box to activate the color picker or
use the drop down arrow to access the Color Dialog menu.
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 anywhere 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, 480, and 660 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".
