Changing Ink Laydown Order

ORIS CxF Toolbox allows you to change the information about the order in which CxF/X-4-defined spot colors and process colors are printed. This information can also be removed from the PDF file.

  1. Make sure the Ink laydown order option is enabled.

    If disabled, the ink sequence information cannot be changed and will not be written to the PDF file when being saved.

  2. Disable the Keep process colors grouped option if the sequence of CMYK process colors should be interrupted by spot colors.

    This replaces the list entry named CMYK with the entries Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Now each process color can be moved individually and you can place spot colors between process colors.

  3. Click on the color to be moved.
  4. Repeatedly click the or button to move the selected color the position you want.

    The color at the top will be printed first, the color at the bottom will be printed last.
