Canon Arizona 6100 XTHF Mark II Series User Manual

Generation Options - Set MediaSet media color is optional and serves two purposes:• If you want to preview the media color in theJob Editor, you can set the media color eitherfrom the image or from the color dialog menu.• If you have areas in your image that use the media color and you want that color to be handledwith special consideration. For example; if you want the media color from the image to showthrough the design, you must first define your fill options, then set the media color and definethe Media Color Handling Options as either "Spot Knockout" or "Full Knockout".NOTEThe generation options are used in combination with the fill options, except when the mediacolor handling is set to "No Knockout". If you want to use the Spot Layer Tool to create floodfills, underlay fills or mask fills it is not always necessary to set a mask or media color to get thedesired results.To set the media color: Click the sample box to activate the color picker or use the drop downarrow to access the Color Dialog menu.• Generation Options - Set MaskThe mask allows you to determine the area that you wish to print with spot data. Setting themask color is optional. If the image you are printing contains white data in more than the maskarea, you will need to set up a different background color not used anywhere else in the file touse as your mask. This must be done in an image-editing program prior to bringing the imageinto the Spot Layer Tool.To set the mask color: Click the sample box to activate the color picker or use the drop-downarrow to pick the color from the preview.• Generation Options - Media Color HandlingIf you have set a media color, you have three options for how you would like the media colorto be handled. The term “Knockout” means to remove from the selection. If you’ve set a mediacolor, 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 thisoption. 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 theimage data matches the media color that you set. Use this option when you want toknockout 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 imagedata anywhere the image data matches the media color that you set. Use this option whenyou want to knockout the spot data and the image data, allowing the media to fully showthrough.• Spot ChannelThe Arizona 6100 XTHF Mark II series has two spot channels available. The names that appearhere should be the ones you used to create the media in Media Manager. The recommendedspot channel names are: "Spot 1" and "Spot 2".NOTEONYX software treats Spot 1 and Spot1 as equivalent. The space between "t" and "1"is not important but the case is, so the "S" must always be capitalized.• Flood FillThis option generates a flood fill for the entire image by combining the underlay and mask fillstogether. When you check this option, the underlay and mask fill sliders lock together and areset at 100%. You can change the opacity for the flood fill by moving either of the sliders.• Underlay Fill OpacityThis option generates a fill in the selected spot channel where image data exists. The fill will begenerated anywhere image data does not match the mask.Create Spot Data with the Spot Layer ToolChapter 7 - How to Manage a White Ink Workflow 125
