426 Mutoh Workflow 2

This document provides instructions for using software layers and a printer driver to print with white ink on a Mutoh ValueJet 426UF printer: 1. Use software like Illustrator that supports working with layers. Create 4 separate layers - Varnish, Color, White, and a digital layout layer if using a jig. 2. In the printer driver, choose Color mode and set the percentage of white/varnish density from 0-100%. 3. Check the 180° box for an on-screen preview that reflects how the print will look flipped over.
