Canon Colorado: FLXfinish support

FLXfinish option for the Canon Colorado series enables the combination of matte and gloss finish in 1 job using 1 varnish channel. The effect is created by changing the UV settings.  FLXfinish is addressed like a separate ink channel, named Gloss. 

Available for Colorado 1630, 1650 and the M series  from V6.6.5 onwards. 

How to create FLXfinish

- In Calibrator, when creating a pmm, select the FLXfinish option in the Print Mode selection step and create a pmm.

- It adds an extra Gloss channel as a Special color to the pmm, which allows the user to map a spot to that channel.  




How to apply FLXfinish

In Editor, Layout or Workflow, select the PMM with the FLXfinish option.   Then use the White/ Special color tool and apply a method (Under colors/ density,.. ) or map a Spot color to the Gloss channel.   As the normal finish is matte, the FLXfinish will add the partial gloss to the image. 

- In Editor the output channels show CMYK+ Gloss
