CUrrently, I'm creating 2 files. One full colour and the other white.
Is there any way to create and only print one file that combines both?

I.E. White base with CMYK print on top?
I would like to half my print time with this process

In the special plate menu you can tell Rasterlink to put a white back for the whole image. The valid pixel option will put white behind any pixel that isn't clear or has no color value. The picture below shows the menu you want to be in.

You can also use Rasterlink Tools for Illustrator or Corel which gives you more control over the process. This link is to the download page for Rasterlink which includes the Rasterlink Tools software. And this link is to the manual as it's too complicated to describe how to set it up here.
