In order to generate a white layer, the following steps have to be performed:
In RIP, create a queue for the printer.
Go to the section “White”.
Under the “White layers” label, one or more white layers can be configured by selecting the following settings:
Channel
Method
Percentage of color from the generated layer
Spread/Choke
The size of the Spread/Choke
Print white and color on the same printer
If the printing will be performed on the same printer, then the upper part of the White section (Printer, Media, Mode, Variant) should be left empty.
The checkbox “Print white before color” is greyed out, as the user will not have the option to modify this setting. The white job will be processed and printed alongside with the actual job.
Print white on a different printer
If the white layer will be printed on a different printer, then the White printer queue should be configured from the upper part of the White section (Printer, Media, Mode, Variant).
If everything is configured correctly you should see two jobs generated in RIP: one for the white layers and another for the rest of the channels.
