2-2 Creating Printing Data
Basic Approach for Creating Printing Data
When you're printing using white ink and gloss ink, you create the printing data using spot colors. Briey, you use the pro-
gram with which you create the printing data to create spot colors named "RDG_WHITE" and "RDG_GLOSS," then apply the
RDG_WHITE spot color to the areas you want to print using white ink, and the RDG_GLOSS spot color to the areas you want
to print using gloss ink.
The method you use to set the spot color diers depending on the program you're using. Refer to the documentation that
comes with the program.
This document describes how to create printing data, including how to make the settings for the spot color, using Adobe
Illustrator CS3. These explanations this start on the following page.
When specifying the "RDG_WHITE" and "RDG_GLOSS" names, enter the names accurately, using single-byte upper-case charac-
ters. Take care not to omit the "_" (underbar) character. The names are case-sensitive, and incorrect use of upper- and lower-case
letters or omitting the "_" (underbar) when typing in either name will make detection as areas using white ink or gloss ink fail.
Specify "RDG_WHITE" for the areas
where you want to use white ink.
Areas specied using RDG_WHITE are printed using white ink.
Areas specied using RDG_GLOSS are printed using gloss ink.
Specify "RDG_GLOSS" for the areas
where you want to use gloss ink.
