Performing One Pass Multilayer Printing

One pass multilayer printing is possible for layered jobs with the following three-layer configurations. Perform pullback printing for layered jobs with two-layer configurations or configurations other than those listed below.
  • CMYK-> Wh -> CMYK: When you want to, for example, print on transparent film and display the printed document from both the printed surface and the opposite surface
  • Pr -> Wh -> CMYK: When you want to, for example, improve the adhesion of ink to media that peels off easily and print vibrant images on a base of white ink
  • Pr -> CMYK -> Wh: When you want to, for example, improve the adhesion of ink to media that peels off easily, print vibrant images on a base of white ink, and display the images from the surface opposite the printed surface (the transparent surface)
  • Wh -> CMYK -> Gl: When you want to, for example, print images on a base of white ink, eliminate the effect of the media's color, and add textures and other expressions
MEMO You can print marks and job information on layered jobs when the One Pass Multilayer Printing check box is selected.
  • Marks are only added when the job on each layer has the same size, position, and orientation.
  • Crop marks are added to the Entire Area.
Procedure
  1. Double-click Layered Job.
    The Job Settings window (Quality, Layered Printing Method, and preview windows) and Layers window appear.

    To hide layers in the preview window, click 目玉アイコン in the Layers window.

  2. Select the One Pass Multilayer Printing check box.
    The check box will be selected if the data can be used for one pass multilayer printing. The current number of layers and the number of layers that can be used for one pass multilayer printing will be displayed if the data cannot be used for one pass multilayer printing.
  3. The message The layered job will be reconfigured to change the printing method. Do you want to continue? appears. Click Yes.
    The Job Settings window closes. After the job is reconfigured, the Job Settings window appears again.
  4. Select items such as Media Type, Print Quality, and Mode from Quality - Quality Settings.
    IMPORTANT The time spent on one pass multilayer printing can be reduced for some types of media.

    In the Job Settings window, increase the Feed Speed under Quality - Quality Settings to increase the speed that media is fed and pulled back, reducing the printing time. However, misalignment may occur depending on the media, so test the printing and determine the appropriate Feed Speed.

  5. Click OK.
    The Job Settings window closes.
  6. With a layered job selected, click to print the job.
