Chroma Optimizer should be used with moderation to avoid bleeding. Usually going above 20% is not recommended. 5% is a good start to see how high you can go.

In Contone modes, the Clear coating field allows you to configure the ink's options. Clear coating is ignored for halftone modes.

 

  1. Open EasyMedia
