Create it. Achieve it. 4 + This guide will walk you through many ways to think about using Specialty Toners on the Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 Printer. Best practices for file preparation are included to ensure print results match your design intent. The design and file preparation steps included in this guide assume a working knowledge of Adobe® Creative Suite components. Print instructions assume the press operator is familiar with the PrimeLink® Printer and print server options. 5 Getting familiar with Vivid Toners 6 Get ready to shine. Create stunning specialty effects with Vivid Toners: Create a spot color effect: Each of our Vivid Toner Kit colors-- Gold, White, Silver, and Clear-- can be used on its own to create stunning spot effects. Our metallic toners contain reflective metallic pigments that deliver true sparkle and shine, amplifying your designs. Use more than one spot color effect together: Want to use more than one spot effect in a job? No problem! Adaptive CMYK+ loads four Vivid Toners at the same time, so you aren't limited to only one enhancement color per job. Layer CMYK with Vivid Toners: When you need a vibrant visual, think about the impact Vivid Toners can make when layered with CMYK. By re-running your base CMYK art with a second pass of Vivid Toners, you can add a high-impact layer of "wow"--simply and cost-effectively. 7 GETTING FAMILIAR WITH VIVID TONERS Breathing inspiration into print just got easier. Print up to four Vivid Toners in a single pass. GOLD SILVER Real metallic effects: The sparkle of metallic Vivid Toners can be used on their own or layered over other colors--either CMYK or Fluorescent-- to amplify content in new, visually stunning ways. WHITE 8 CLEAR White and Clear effects: Create new opportunities for unique design expression. Unlock a broader range of specialty media with White Toner, and enhance virtually any stock with White or Clear design elements. Vivid Toners replace CMYK in the PrimeLink Printer as a set: K C M Y LAYER ORDER, OBJECT OVERLAPPING, AND TRANSPARENCY EFFECTS FOR VIVID TONERS ARE ALL SET IN YOUR DESIGN APPLICATIONS. THIS GUIDE WILL GIVE YOU BEST PRACTICES TO FOLLOW FOR VARIOUS DESIGN TECHNIQUES. G W S Clr Toner colors cannot be mixed across sets or placed in different cartridge positions. The Xerox® Adaptive CMYK+ Kit is an innovative accessory kit that lets your print provider swap out their Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 Printer's CMYK Toner with high-value Vivid Toners in minutes. While Vivid Toners register well to each other on each side of a page, there can be some variation on jobs that require multiple toner sets, due to the fact that paper must be manually re-run through the press after the toners are swapped. Planning for this with designs that allow for registration variation will help you maximize the technology's benefits. You will learn more in this guide. 9 Designing with a Vivid Toner spot color 10 DESIGNING WITH A VIVID TONER SPOT COLOR Add sparkle and shine with Gold, White, Silver, or Clear. Make your designs stand out with a simple spot color effect. Spot effects are stunning in their simplicity. Use Gold, White, Silver, or Clear Vivid Kit Toners alone to add immediate, cost-effective value to graphics and text. Spot color effects can be created in several ways: · In smaller areas, such as graphics or text using a single toner. · In larger flood areas, as with a Clear overlay. 11 DESIGNING WITH A VIVID TONER SPOT COLOR Add a spot color effect to graphics or text. Choosing to add Gold, White, Silver, or Clear spot effects to design application created in Adobe® Creative Suite requires this simple process to help ensure accurate print results: Specify as PMS 871C and name "SGold" SAVE AS A SPOT COLOR Specify as 100% Cyan and name "SWhite" SAVE AS A SPOT COLOR Specify as PMS 877C and name "SSilver" SAVE AS A SPOT COLOR Specify as 100% Yellow and name "SClear" SAVE AS A SPOT COLOR Spot color names are specific. Please reproduce exactly as shown here so the printer knows where to apply the Vivid Toner. Since specialty effects are applied at the printer, your files won't accurately depict the printed results. We recommend you choose an on-screen color to make spot effects easily identifiable within your files. In this guide, we will use: · PMS 871C for Gold · 100% Cyan for White · PMS 877C for Silver · 100% Yellow for Clear 12 DESIGNING WITH A VIVID TONER SPOT COLOR Spot effects can be created in just a few simple steps. Start by determining what spot effect you want--Gold, White, Silver, or Clear--and where that effect will be applied within your design. In this example, we'll show you how to create a graphic with a specialty fill. This example uses: SGold 13 DESIGNING WITH A VIVID TONER SPOT COLOR Add a spot effect to graphics or text. While this example uses Adobe® Illustrator®, the same concepts apply in Adobe® InDesign®. 3 2 1 1 CREATE A GRAPHIC OR TEXT Import vector objects, draw and fill a shape, or select text that will have the Gold Toner applied in Adobe® Illustrator®. 14 2 CREATE YOUR ON-SCREEN COLOR Add PANTONE® 871C to your file so that when you're working on screen, the graphic looks similar to your desired Gold output. 3 DEFINE THE VIVID SPOT COLOR Designate your PANTONE® 871C swatch as a Spot Color and name it SGold. REMINDER: Color names are specific and case sensitive. Please reproduce exactly as shown here! The names let the printer know where to apply the Vivid Toner. 4 4 FILL YOUR OBJECT Select the objects in your layer and fill them with the SGold color. DESIGNING WITH A VIVID TONER SPOT COLOR Good communication with your print provider is key! When you hand your job off for production, be sure to tell your print provider to run it with the Xerox® Vivid Toner Kit. They will need to have the Xerox® Adaptive CMYK+ Kit installed on their device. Remember to ask for a proof on your specified stock. This will help ensure the printed result matches your design intent. See Page 48 for more tips on handing off jobs. 15 Designing with multiple Vivid Toner spot colors 16 DESIGNING WITH MULTIPLE VIVID TONER SPOT COLORS Add sparkle and shine with Gold, White, Silver, and/or Clear. Print up to four spot Vivid Toner colors in ONE duplex print pass.* Amplify the power of Vivid Toner spot effects by using more than one color at a time. Adaptive CMYK+ allows a print provider with a Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 Printer to swap out their CMYK Toners with Vivid Toners, giving you the ability to print up to four high-value specialty spot colors at the same time. The key thing to remember when overlapping objects: knockout and transparency are created based on layer order and object effect (i.e., Multiply) within your design file. See the Insider Insights section at the end of this guide for more information. *Each "pass" represents a single trip through the printer. 17 DESIGNING WITH MULTIPLE VIVID TONER SPOT COLORS Print up to four spot colors in ONE duplex print pass. Start by determining what spot color effects you want--Gold, White, Silver, and/or Clear--and where those effects will be applied within your design file. In this example, we'll show you how to use all four Vivid Toners together in one pass. This example uses: SClear SSilver SWhite SGold Production preview 18 DESIGNING WITH MULTIPLE VIVID TONER SPOT COLORS The order of objects within your design file--and the effects you apply to those objects--is what controls each print's appearance. 4TH OBJECT CLEAR 3RD OBJECT SILVER 2ND OBJECT WHITE 1ST OBJECT GOLD In this example, a designer has chosen to order objects in a specific way to achieve an overlapping appearance. This is done by organizing objects in layers within your design file so that some objects are in front of others.* The PrimeLink® Printer will translate your design--including the object positioning, spot colors, and any transparency effects you have specified-- to the paper. *See the Insider Insights section in this Guide for more detail on overlapping Vivid Toner objects. 19 DESIGNING WITH MULTIPLE VIVID TONER SPOT COLORS Use more than one spot effect together. Up to four Vivid Toners can be used in a design file--and may even be placed so they overlap-- depending on the desired result. 3 1 2 1 CREATE YOUR DESIGN Create your design and decide where you want your spot colors to appear. 20 2 DEFINE YOUR SPOT COLORS Make sure your spot colors are set up and named correctly: SClear (Capitalized), SSilver (Capitalized), SWhite (Capitalized), and SGold (Capitalized) All should be designated as CMYK Spot Colors. 3 FILL YOUR OBJECTS Decide where you want to use your Vivid Kit Toners to create an exciting "wow" effect. NOTE: Make note of where objects overlap in your design and decide whether you want them to sit on top of one another or visually blend with a transparency effect. DESIGNING WITH MULTIPLE VIVID TONER SPOT COLORS MULTIPLY AND SELECT A TINT 4 4 IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE VIVID TONER OBJECTS OVERLAPPING IN A DESIGN TIP: Multiplying Silver and Gold together lets them "blend" on press, creating beautiful champagne metallic hues. We recommend these mixes: Depending on the desired effect, you may choose to Multiply the overlay objects so the two spot layers blend. Clear should ALWAYS be set to Multiply to achieve the best sheen. 90% Gold 90% Silver 70% Gold 70% Silver 50% Gold 50% Silver 30% Gold 30% Silver See the "Insider Insights" section at the end of this guide for more information on Multiply. 21 Designing for multiple print passes 22 DESIGNING WITH MULTIPLE PRINT PASSES Create eye-catching designs with an endless gamut on a page. Print CMYK and Vivid Toner colors in TWO print passes. Layering CMYK prints with Vivid Toners unleashes a whole new set of design possibilities. Use solids or tints of Gold, White, Silver, or Clear Toners with CMYK to bring a whole-new "wow" factor to digital print. CMYK and Vivid Toners are printed in two passes, so designs must be optimized so they do not require exact registration between the two toner sets. 23 DESIGNING FOR MULTIPLE PRINT PASSES Bring it all together. You can enhance visual interest by layering areas of CMYK with Vivid Toners to create imaginative, eye-catching designs. In this example, we'll show you how to use CMYK and Vivid Toners together. This example uses: SGold (Vivid Toner Set) Magenta (CMYK Toner Set) 24 DESIGNING FOR MULTIPLE PRINT PASSES Layering Vivid Toners on top of CMYK can amplify their impact... 2ND PASS GOLD (Vivid Toner Set) 1ST PASS MAGENTA (CMYK Toner Set) When designing for jobs that use both CMYK and Vivid Toners, you should apply CMYK in the first pass and Vivid Toners in the second. Choose where each toner set's colors will stand on their own and where they will be layered within your design. NOTE: Because a twoprint pass job like this requires the paper to be manually run through the printer a second time, you should design for registration variation. For more information on this, see the Insider Insights section at the end of this guide. 25 DESIGNING FOR MULTIPLE PRINT PASSES Bring it all together. Creating designs that use both CMYK and Vivid Toners requires two different print passes. 1 3 2 1 CREATE YOUR DESIGN Create your CMYK design and decide where you want your Vivid spot colors to appear. 26 2 DEFINE YOUR SPOT COLOR Make sure your spot color is set up and named correctly: SGold (Capitalized) It should be designated as a CMYK Spot Color. 3 FILL YOUR OBJECT Decide where you want to use your Vivid Kit Toners to create the best "wow" effect you can! DESIGNING FOR MULTIPLE PRINT PASSES CMYK (Magenta) + Vivid (SGold) Fluorescent (FMagenta) + Vivid (SGold) 4 4 MULTIPLY YOUR OBJECTS The second print pass objects should always be set to Multiply to ensure proper printed outcome and avoid knockout of the objects below. Clear should ALWAYS be set to Multiply to achieve the best sheen. NOTE: Use the CMYK Toner Set or the Fluorescent Toner Set as your first print pass. Then, easily swap to the Vivid Toner Set for the second print pass to add the SGold effects. With only minor adjustments to your design file, you can achieve drastically different results. CMYK Toner Set Fluorescent Toner Set Vivid Toner Set OR AND 27 Getting familiar with Fluorescent Toners 28 Get ready to glow. Create stunning specialty effects with Fluorescent Toners: Bottom line: Fluorescent Toners give you the flexibility to design in two different ways. 1 "Spot Wow" Fluorescent Toner Workflow Specify various Fluorescent Spot colors for added pop! Create an eye-catching "Spot Wow" with Fluorescent spot colors: FCyan, FMagenta, and FYellow can be used on their own or layered with Grayscale imagery to grab--and hold--attention. Note: If you wanted to add tints or shades of Black in the Fluorescent print pass, use SBlack as a spot color and specify the percentage. Unlock an intriguing glow with blended Fluorescent process printing: Because the Fluorescent Toner Kit contains Fluorescent Cyan, Fluorescent Magenta, and Fluorescent Yellow--in addition to Black--you can design in CMYK and still get an extra pop and glow when you print with blends. 2 "Blended" Fluorescent Toner Workflow Design as you would for standard CMYK to create blends of Fluorescent colors. 29 Designing with Fluorescent spot colors 30 DESIGNING WITH FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS Specifying Fluorescent spot colors. Make your designs stand out with Fluorescent spot colors. Spot effects are stunning in their simplicity. Creating Fluorescent spot colors is simple. The easiest way to use Fluorescent Toners is to specify a spot (or spots) of Fluorescent Cyan, Fluorescent Magenta, or Fluorescent Yellow. Contrasting Fluorescent Toners with Black elements within a design helps Fluorescent colors pop even more. Note: Some Fluorescent colors pop more than others. Always be sure to test your jobs to be sure they are printing as expected. This application is an excellent example of UVactivated Fluorescent Toners. 31 DESIGNING WITH FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS Add a spot color effect to graphics or text. Naming Fluorescent colors correctly and specifying them as "Spots" in your Adobe® design file will deliver more saturated colors when printing. Specify as 100% Cyan and name "FCyan" SAVE AS A SPOT COLOR Specify as 100% Magenta and name "FMagenta" SAVE AS A SPOT COLOR Specify as 100% Yellow and name "FYellow" SAVE AS A SPOT COLOR If you leave these colors tagged as "Process" in your design file, they will still print with fluorescence--but they will not be as saturated as when they are tagged as "Spot" and use the correct Spot syntax name. 32 DESIGNING WITH FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS Spot effects can be created in just a few simple steps. Start by determining which Fluorescent spot color(s) you want and where each effect will be applied within your design. In this example, we'll show you how to create specialty Fluorescent fills for text and vector art. This example uses: FCyan FMagenta FYellow 33 DESIGNING WITH FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS Add a spot effect to graphics or text. While this example uses Adobe® InDesign®, the same concepts apply in Adobe® lllustrator®. 1 2 3 1 SET UP YOUR LAYERS While this isn't 100% necessary, working in layers will help you keep a clean working file. Create a base layer for your Grayscale image. Next, add a layer for your Fluorescent art and text. 34 2 IMPORT YOUR GRAYSCALE IMAGE Open your Grayscale image and place it on the Grayscale image layer. 3 CREATE FLUORESCENT DESIGN ELEMENTS Next, create the elements you wish to be Fluorescent and place them on the Fluorescent art layer. DESIGNING WITH FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS 4 4 CREATE FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS Open the Swatch Palette and create your Fluorescent colors: FCyan (Capitalized), FMagenta (Capitalized), and FYellow (Capitalized). All should be designated as CMYK Spot Colors. 5 5 FILL YOUR OBJECTS Select the objects in your Fluorescent layer and fill them with the Spot Colors. Choosing to set some of your Fluorescent objects to Multiply, like these glasses lenses, can add a fun dimension to your piece. Good communication with your print provider is key! When you hand your job off for production, be sure to tell your print provider to run it with the Xerox® Fluorescent Toners. They will need to have the Xerox® Adaptive CMYK+ Kit installed on their device. Remember to ask for a proof on your specified stock. This will help ensure the printed result matches your design intent. See Page 48 for more tips on handing off jobs. 35 DESIGNING WITH FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS Using black effectively. Printing Black in a one-pass Fluorescent job: USE 100% BLACK Black provides excellent contrast against the Fluorescent Toners. To use it to its full effect, specify Black as 100% K--do not include any C, M, or Y. 36 FLUORESCENT WITH GRAYSCALE: By leaving Black set to 100% K, you can also create the stunning effect of enhancing grayscale photos with Fluorescent spots. The PrimeLink engine lays down the perfect amount of Black without having to manipulate percentages or define Black as a spot color. REMINDER: Being able to run Black in a single pass with the Fluorescent Toner Kit opens up amazing design opportunities. You can layer Fluorescent spot colors over grayscale images in addition to using Black as a spot or flood element. In one-pass jobs like these, it is not necessary to define SBlack as a spot color. DESIGNING WITH FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS Printing Black in a manual two-pass CMYK and Fluorescent job: LEAVING BLACK SET TO 100% K SETTING BLACK TO SBlack When printing a manual two-pass job that uses CMYK and Fluorescent Toners in one PDF, you may need to control when Black gets laid down--as part of either the CMYK pass or the Fluorescent pass. In both of these examples, the CMYK Toners are installed for the first pass. Print Pass 1 + Print Pass 2 Print Pass 1 + Print Pass 2 Final Printed output Leaving Black set to 100% K and not specifying it as a spot color will cause the printer to print Black elements as part of the CMYK first pass. Notice that the black hearts print under the Fluorescent objects. Final Printed output Setting Black objects as a spot color named SBlack will cause the printer to print them as part of the Fluorescent second pass. Notice that the Black hearts print over the Fluorescent objects with perfect registration. 37 Design in CMYK, print in Fluorescent blends 38 DESIGN IN CMYK, PRINT IN FLUORESCENT BLENDS Give your art new "glow" in print. Make your designs stand out with the POP of blended Fluorescent colors. Don't change a thing about your design! Just change toners. Since the Fluorescent Toner Kit contains Fluorescent Cyan, Fluorescent Magenta, and Fluorescent Yellow along with process Black, it lets you print process CMYK images with an intriguing pop and glow. Even though blended spot colors can be achieved with both the Vivid and Fluorescent Toner sets, only the Fluorescent Toner set can take a job that was designed for CMYK process printing and give it new glow with nothing more than a toner swap. 39 DESIGN IN CMYK, PRINT IN FLUORESCENT BLENDS Bring a new glow to your CMYK art. While this example uses Adobe® lllustrator®, the same concepts apply in Adobe® lnDesign®. 1 3 2 1 OPEN OR CREATE YOUR CMYK ARTWORK Start with an existing CMYK file or create new art. 2 MAXIMIZE YOUR IMPACT Contrasting areas of fluorescent color with Black in your design can amplify the effect of the Fluorescent Toners when your file is printed and viewed under UV light. 3 PRINT WITH FLUORESCENT TONERS Fluorescent Toners make your process color designs pop and glow with minimal effort! 40 DESIGN IN CMYK, PRINT IN FLUORESCENT BLENDS Good communication with your print provider is key! When you hand your job off for production, be sure to tell your print provider to run it with the Xerox® Fluorescent Toners. They will need to have the Xerox® Adaptive CMYK+ Kit installed on their device. Remember to ask for a proof on your specified stock. This will help ensure the printed result matches your design intent. See Page 48 for more tips on handing off jobs. 41 DESIGN IN CMYK, PRINT IN FLUORESCENT BLENDS The best and brightest blends Fluorescent Toners can be blended to create beautiful new palettes of spot colors beyond just C, M, and Y.

Setting up a flawless design file will only get you part of the way to a perfect print. You must also clearly communicate with your print provider about the toner sets and effects you used so that they can help make your vision a reality. Use the terminology shown here to describe your design elements and desired toners. 1 Vivid Spot 2 Fluorescent Spot 3 Fluorescent Blends (Designed for CMYK) 4 Vivid Spot and Fluorescent Spot 5 Vivid Spot and Fluorescent Blend 48 6 CMYK and Fluorescent Spot 7 CMYK and Vivid Spot 8 CMYK and Fluorescent Blends 9 PANTONE and Fluorescent Spot 10 PANTONE and Fluorescent Blends 11 PANTONE and Vivid Spot 12 Gradients YOU'RE INVITED... 13 Vivid Blends 14 SBlack Tints and Fluorescent Spot For more information on design best practices for the Xerox® Adaptive CMYK+ Kit, please refer to the Production Notes and Demo Guidance for the Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 Printer on Xerox.com. * EfI print Workflows will vary depending on the elements of the design file. 49 INSIDER INSIGHTS The Xerox® Adaptive CMYK+ Kit is an innovative accessory that lets your print provider swap out their Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 Printer's CMYK Toner with high-value Specialty Toners in minutes. While Specialty Toners register well to each other on each side of a page, there can be some variation on jobs that require both CMYK and Specialty Toners, due to the fact that paper must be manually re-run through the printer after the toners are swapped. Planning for this with designs that allow for registration variation will help you maximize the technology's benefits. 50 Design for registration variation in these scenarios: When you're planning on using Specialty Toners in addition to CMYK, OR When you're planning on running 2-sided jobs. Intentionally overlap and set to Multiply OR Leave ample white space The enhancement techniques shown in this guide will print differently depending on your stock surface. Coated or silk sheets deliver smoother effects than uncoated. It's always a good idea to proof a design on your chosen stock prior to a full production run. This will help ensure the final result matches your design intent. 51 INSIDER INSIGHTS Overlapping objects when designing for the Vivid Toner set. When overlapping specialty objects, the order of the Vivid Toners in the printer does NOT matter. What DOES matter are the following variables with respect to layout and settings within your design file: · Object position in the Layers palette · Object settings in the Ef fe c t s / Tra n sp a re nc y palette 52 For more information on overlapping Vivid Toner objects in your design files, refer to the Design Tool for the Xerox® Adaptive CMYK+ Kit (available from your Xerox rep).

The objects' position in the Layers palette (Top layer, Bottom layer). 2. The objects' setting in the Effects/Transparency palette when set to Normal. NORMAL NORMAL The Top layer Vivid Toner object (circle) will always overprint the Bottom layer Vivid Toner object (circle) when all the objects are set to Normal. (Silver) TOP (Clear) NORMAL NORMAL TOP (White) (Clear) While these examples showcase Vivid Toner colors, the same principles apply if you are Overlapping or Multiplying Fluorescent Spot colors. NORMAL NORMAL 53 INSIDER INSIGHTS Overlapping objects when designing with ONLY Vivid Toners. Overlapping Vivid objects using Multiply and Normal: (Silver) TOP (Gold) This example shows the printed design effects achieved by: 1. The objects' position in the Layers palette (Top layer, Bottom layer). 2. The objects' setting in the Effects/Transparency palette, when set to Multiply and Normal. NORMAL MULTIPLY (Silver) TOP (Clear) The Top layer Vivid Toner object (circle)--in combination with the setting Multiply--will always show a transparency effect with the Bottom Vivid Toner object layer (Normal setting). NORMAL MULTIPLY TOP (White) (Clear) NORMAL 54 MULTIPLY In this printed example, the Vivid Toner object (Clear circle) is set to Multiply, but it is NOT the Top layer; therefore, the two overlapping Vivid Toner objects (Clear and White circles) do not have transparency in the overlapping portion of the two objects. The Top layer (White circle) would have to be set to Multiply to have transparency in the overlapping portion of the two objects (White and Clear circles). Working with Clear Specialty Toner: To achieve the best sheen on your printed output when using Clear Toner, you should always set Clear objects to Multiply in the Effects/Transparency palette within your design file: INSIDER INSIGHTS CLEAR STARS SET TO MULTIPLY IN THE DESIGN FILE 55 INSIDER INSIGHTS Overlapping objects when designing with ONLY Vivid Toners. Overlapping Vivid objects using only Multiply: (Silver) TOP (Gold) This example shows the printed design effects achieved by: 1. The objects' position in the Layers palette (Top layer, Bottom layer). 2. The objects' setting in the Effects/Transparency palette, when all are set to Multiply. MULTIPLY MULTIPLY (Silver) TOP (Clear) MULTIPLY MULTIPLY The Top layer Vivid Toner object (circle) in combination with the setting Multiply, will always show a transparency effect with the Bottom Vivid Toner object layer when it is also set to Multiply.
