■Colors (and color components) used to indicate foil colors

In multi foil color printing, indicate foil colors by selecting colors in the appli- cation that resemble the foil colors.

Note

For instructions on changing color component settings in an application, refer to the manual that came with your application. Depending on the application, a foil color may not print correctly even though the color settings were properly set in the applica- tion. Check the Preview window before printing, and try increas- ing or decreasing the setting to get the correct foil color to print.
