Attention!The result of not meeting the requirements can be unexpected and often unpleasant…

The outline for plotter cutting in the layout is drawn on top of the printed image, only with vector lines (Stroke), Spot color, with the name "shtamp" and the overprint attribute.

The embossing in the layout is drawn on top of the printed image, by vector only, in Spot color, with the name "Tisn" (capitalized) and the overprint attribute.

The hybrid varnish in the layout is drawn on top of the printed image, in Spot color, with the name "Gibrid" (capitalized) and an overprint attribute.

Lak in the layout is drawn on top of the printed image, in Spot color, with the name "Lak" (capitalized) and an overprint attribute. Adds luster to CMYK images. When used on top of silver, it makes it MATH.

White in the layout is drawn on top of the image to be printed, in Spot color, with the color name "White" (capitalized). It is recommended to use white carpet pad under CMYK images for colored and dark design papers, as the ink will be absorbed by the color of the paperboard when printing. For light-colored papers, white under CMYK is not applied.

White+White in the layout is drawn on top of the printed image, in Spot color, with the color name "White" and "White2" (capitalized) with the printing formula White+CMYK+White (provided the two layers of White are not the same, otherwise one layer of White is sufficient).

Silver is drawn in the layout with a Spot color with the name "Silver" (capitalized). Silver can be used as a standalone color, as well as to create metallic patch colors and gradients.
