Primers on clear vinyl ?

I have some vector files that I need to print on clear but I want to print them as process(CMYK)
is there an easy way to do a global primer? or do I have to put a primer on every color?
TIA

Yes, I think with CMYK object selected, open the fill menu, and click the primer key ( paint brush). Send to output, and check foil order- white should be laying down first - unless you are reverse printing on clear then it would be last

Thank you! I was able to do the print but I have a clear cutline on the graphic but it is printing some cmy colors (very faint) How can i get it to not print in the clear are?

Do you have the border set as "clear"? If you do just remove the clear fill, have it with no fill.

Thank you, but I did have it set as with no fill. I think my problem was that I was printing a "clipped" .bmp with some vector text around it all on clear. I was trying to print it all as CMYK in Omega plot. When I let it print as Spot and CMYK color everything was fine!
