C. Printing a special clear ink image

To print an image designed for clear ink, create a special image, separate from the color image, and carry

out mono color replacement with RasterLink6Plus. After that, composite the clear ink image with the color

image.

Creating the clear ink image

1. Using design software such as Illustrator or Photoshop, create a clear

ink image with the following conditions:

• Color Mode: CMYK

Colors used: One color only - cyan or magenta or yellow or black. Set 100% density for the

color. For the other colors, set 0%.

In this procedure, black 100% is used as an example.

2. Save the created image as an EPS or TIFF image.

• You are recommended to save the color image and clear ink image separately from each other

after you have done the layout for them with the design software.

3. Read the image saved in step 2 with RasterLink6Plus.

Make the clear ink image’s size match the color

image’s.

You can do this by creating a non-fill/non-line path

around the periphery of both images, as shown on

the right.
