It's color-white color. You use it to print on clear vinyl that is either going to be applied to glass so the picture can be seen from both sides, or to white plexiglass faces to give better transmitted light color saturation without too-dark colors from double strike printing.Forgive my ignorance, but why would you need to print white-color-white? We don't have a printer that does white so it's not something I'm familiar with.
Okay that makes sense. It helps if I read a little more closely, too.It's color-white color.

Thanks! I was afraid this might be the case. I do have layering capabilities with our Agfa Annapurna, but I'm still trying to dial in print/cut capabilities with it. I guess I should focus on that instead.I don't think it's a machine thing. It's in the RIP. Although I don't have the newest version, I have been unable to get Onyx to do it. Unfortunately there's not a lot of help with doing layers. The RIP people won't really help and Epson says talk to the RIP people.
Yes, we have done it with Onyx, but we now only have Epson S60600 machines here as we never really used the white much.
Obviously you have to set up your file correctly first (everything has to be overprint).
You have to be using a correct Profile in the RIP that supports the white/layering.
Then you RIP the file in Onyx, and then you right click on it and you can adjust the settings further for how you want the file to be printed.
You can add/change/sort layers of print and change pass settings in there.
I updated my post above with an informational PDF that I learned it from.Thanks! I was afraid this might be the case. I do have layering capabilities with our Agfa Annapurna, but I'm still trying to dial in print/cut capabilities with it. I guess I should focus on that instead.
I thought I posted this earlier, now there are more replies...
So, now I see it might be possible, if I set up the file correctly, and find the right profile....?
