ARTJET UV flatbed (XP600 multi-channel white) / Substrate for 2.5D / textured image (white relief then color)

Substrate for 2.5D / textured image (white relief then color) on ARTJET UV flatbed (XP600 multi-channel white)

guide

Surface prep

Photoshop alpha/spot-color levels for gradient white height (not flat spot white)

Layer order

White relief (100–800% repeat passes) → Color on top

White layers

100%=1 pass; 200%=2; 800%=8; bottom White density must be 100%

CMYK layers

1 final color pass

Varnish

optional / not required for this texture method

Print mode

Same channel-repeat approach as braille; multi-channel white speeds height vs single-channel heads

Notes

White builds tactile 2.5D texture; color printed last. Gradient white via Photoshop alpha levels; Illustrator cannot do the gradient white method described.
