Composing TIFF Image Print Data: Compose Job

Combine two TIFF images (CMYK color and grayscale images of the same size) to compose a single job. The grayscale job can be used as a white plate or gloss plate.

Depending on the model you are using, creation of composed jobs may not be possible.

Step 1: Preparing CMYK and Grayscale Print Data

The example in the following explanation uses print data where photo data was cut out and text was added.

GouseiSample
Procedure
  1. Use the design software and create the print data.
  2. Save the CMYK print data.
    • Color: CMYK
    • Save format: TIFF
  3. Save the grayscale print data.
    • Color: Grayscale
    • Save format: TIFF
    MEMO Change only the color and save so that the grayscale print data has the same number of horizontal and vertical pixels as the CMYK data.

Step 2: Composing CMYK Print Data and Grayscale Print Data

Procedure
  1. Add the CMYK and grayscale print data to the job list.
  2. Select two jobs (CMYK and grayscale).
  3. Use one of the methods below to create a composed job.
    • Right-click the two selected multiple jobs, and then click Compile Jobs - Compose Job.
    • Click VW7_JobMenu1 on the right side of the job tool area, and then click VW7-ICON_GouseiJobCompose Job.
    A composed job is created from the two selected jobs. The name Composite Date-Number is assigned to the composed job.
MEMO When printing a composed job, specify a mode that includes white or gloss with Quality - Quality Settings - Mode under Job Settings .
