In this article, we will show you how to use the Overflood ("OF") quality modes for HP Latex 700W / 800W devices.
Info
To do this, we will use a ready-made PDF file containing a white spot and print it on a substrate compatible with Spot quality modes called “My custom film”.
Be sure that the white is enabled in the Page Setup window. If you have formerly used the sandwich mode, deactivate it.
Refer to the manufacturer's official documentation for more details on this quality mode.
Step 1: Create a new substrate in your printer
First, you must create a new custom substrate using the HP Latex 700W / 800W printer's panel.
