Need Help Canon Colorado - White 3 layers.

[Peter Brady]

Hello,
Can you tell me please if its possible to print 3 layers on Colorado M5 using onyx RIP, with the following structure?
TOP layer : cmyk
Middle layers : white
BOTTOM layer : Black only layer (but not entirely/flood))
This is the Illustrator structure.

Material is clear film, and print mode White 3 layer (selected in onyx from media profile)



My aim is to create a partial blockout layer underneath the CMYK layer, but after different tries of layering, at the printing process all I can get is the CMYK top layer repeated under the white layer.
I want the bottom to be different (more opaque) but it seems it cannot replicate the Illustrator structure.
Do I miss any check mark or special labelling for the layers? Or is it possible only using PrismaXL?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I don't know about doing it exlusively in Onyx....but I don't think it would be a problem using PrismaGuide software. Here is a video on making a 5 layer print, but the setup would be similar for 3 layer.

Thanks, i read about this plugin before, but was wondering if I could have done it without.

I'm pretty confident you'll need to design your layers in PrismaGuide and then send to Onyx. I'll call my guru and get back to you.
