ID Setting Description

1

Name

Enter a name to identify the ink in XMF.

2

Colour Type

Click [] and select a colour type.

Opaque: For heavy and opaque inks which prevent trapping of the lower colours. Enables trapping on the edge of inks. For example, metallic inks.

Opaque Ignore: For heavy and opaque inks which prevent trapping of the lower colours. This type prevents trapping on the edge of inks.

Die Line: For die line inks. This type enables trapping of lower items.

Transparent: For varnish. This type enables trapping of lower items.

Normal: For conventional process inks and most spot inks.

Note
  1. Trapping is a process for preventing the bottom surface (paper colour) from appearing at the boundaries of colours when printing multiple colours. The colour of one of the adjacent colours is thickened by overlapping it. The colour to thicken depends on the picture to be printed and the density of the colours.

3

CMYK If you are using CMYK values when converting the ink colour into a process colour, enter CMYK values corresponding to the colour. Enter the values from the left in order of C (Cyan), M (Magenta), Y (Yellow) and K (Black).

4

Lab When the checkbox is selected, Lab is used in preference to the CMYK when converting the ink colour to a process colour. Enter Lab values of the corresponding colour. Enter the values from the left in order of L (lightness), a (hue, saturation (red - green)) and b (hue, saturation (yellow - blue)).

5

Print Mode

Click [] and select the print method to use when printing this ink.

Print As Process: Merge into the normal CMYK 4-colour separations.

Don’t Print: Do not print this ink (select this option for inks such as varnish that cannot be proofed).

Print As Spot: Prints this ink as a separation that is different than the CMYK separations.

6

Neutral Density

Click [Calculate] to calculate and display the appropriate neutral density.

Note
  1. To set an accurate ink neutral density, use a commercially-available densitometer.
  2. The [Neutral Density] value affects the [Black Colour], [Sliding Trap] and [Trap Colour Reduction] items in [Trapping Thresholds] when trapping is set in the [Job Edit] screen.

7

Alias Ink To

When a document requiring only 1 spot colour includes 2 similar spot colours, you can assign the 1st spot colour or process colour as the alias ink. Click [] and select the ink. If you select [Not Aliased], an alias ink will not be assigned.

If you select an ink in [Alias Ink To], the corresponding spot colour will be displayed as the alias ink colour when the document is displayed in [Viewer] or [3D Proofer].
