Printing Specific Layers of the Print Data

For print data in PDF format with a layered structure, each layer can be separately set to be printed or not printed. When creating the print data with design software, create multiple layers in advance. Doing so will allow setting of whether or not to print a white plate for each media color, and separate the cutting lines by layer and set whether or not to perform cutting.

MEMO This function uses Job Assistant, so it must be installed on the PC.
The following is an example showing print data with five layers. By combining layers, a variety of printing is possible depending on the printer and ink type.
