Overview
Spot Color Printing
Spot color printing uses non-CMYK spot color inks. This enables printing of a color image on top of a white ink to
make the colors more vivid, or printing gloss ink on top of a color image to provide a gloss nish. Primer ink can
also be printed underneath a color image to improve adhesion to the media.
[1]: Base (White or primer ink)
[2]: Image or illustration (CMYK, etc.)
[3]: Finish (Gloss nish with a gloss ink)

Available Print Types
This section describes the types of printing that use white ink (W), gloss ink (Gl), and primer ink (Pr).
Print types
Print Control can be used to specify the combination of color ink, white ink, gloss ink, and primer ink. Cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black are referred to as 4C.
IMPORTANT
Printing with gloss ink (Gl) must be done through a separate print job than that of the other inks,
and the image must be rasterized using the Standard output prole (resolution: 635 × 600 dpi).
Outputting in the same job as 4C is only possible when the print mode is "4C-Gl_Standard." In such cases, the
gloss ink is printed with a matte nish.
[1]: Gloss ink
[2]: Color ink
[3]: White ink
[4]: Primer ink
Color set
Application example
Overview
W - 4C
White ink is used as the base for color data.
4C - Gl*1
Gloss ink is applied on top of color data.
Pr - 4C
Primer ink is used as the base of the color data.
W - 4C
+ Gl (separate job)*2
White ink is used as the base for color data. Coating with
gloss ink is performed in a separate job.
Pr - W - 4C
White ink and primer ink are used as the base of the color
data.
Pr - 4C
+ Gl (separate job)*2
Primer ink is used as the base of the color data. Coating
with gloss ink is performed in a separate job.

Color set
Application example
Overview
Pr - W - 4C
+ Gl (separate job)*2
White ink and primer ink are used as the base of the color
data. Coating with gloss ink is performed in a separate job.
4C - W
White ink is used on top of the color data. This is mainly
used for reverse printing on transparent media.
Pr - 4C - W
Primer ink is used as the base of the color data, and white
ink is used on top of the color data. This is mainly used for
reverse printing on transparent media.
*1:
This set can be used when the print mode is set to "4C - Gl _ Standard." In this case, the gloss ink has a matte nish.
*2:
This set can be used when RIP is performed at Standard (635×600dpi). Adjusting the UV lamp position enables
printing with a gloss nish using gloss ink. (If the UV lamp position is not adjusted, a matte nish will be produced.)

• Selecting an output prole that is suitable for the color set used for spot color printing from the general-
purpose proles available ensures output with optimal color management.
• For basic information on using the RIP software, such as how to set the media size and layout for print data,
refer to the Help manual included with the software.
Procedure
A Read the spot color print data or pattern print data using the RIP software.
Add the print data as a RIP software job.
B Double-click the added job.
