¨Create Data for Spot Color Printing

1. Use any application to create the image or document you

want to print, and prepare it just as you would for normal

printing. The image may contain text as well as graphics.

Note

Single spot color printing can produce grayscale images. How-

ever, be aware that intermediate gradations are not possible when

using more than one spot color at a time.

Note

Full color or grayscale images with gradations can be converted

to graded black and white images using photo retouch software.

In this way, full color and grayscale images can be printed with

gradations to some degree.
