White Ink Workflow
Similar to backlit, the day-night application also involves printing onto a transparent or
translucent material. A day-night print can be viewed either front-lit or backlit. This is achieved
by printing color data on two separate layers with a white diffusing layer in the middle.
• Opaque Application
The opaque application involves printing CMYK data onto non-white media. For this
application, white ink is required both to enable the printer to produce images where white
forms part of the image content, as well as to act as a base for the CMYK color set.
