White Ink Quick Start
Introduction
This section shows you how to print a simple job with a white flood fill. Arizona Quality-Layered
print mode is used to print white ink applications such as under-printing for non-white media,
over-printing for backlit applications or as middle layer for a day-night application.
The Printer Flood Fill mode allows you to print an image with a white flood fill as an underlay or
an overlay. The printer itself provides the flood fill rather than the ONYX Spot Layer Tool or an
image editing application, so no additional data preparation is required. White ink is set up as a
layer that is embedded in the print job. The edges of the image bounding box (the outer
perimeter of the image) will determine the extent of the flood fill area.
When to do
The Printer Flood Fill mode is used when an image is rectangular in shape and requires a white
flood fill.
