print white ink in the same area of an image as CMYK inks. The white ink does not mix well with
the other ink colors.

page 131

printer generated flood data. All layers are independent of each other.
Quality-Layered layers are defined in ONYX media - mode options, but may be optionally
overridden within a Quick Set - Media Options, and optionally overridden on a per job basis by
