1. How to make _How to make Spot color
There may be experts, but even people like me who are new to Ai files can create Spot colors by following the video.
In the picture below,
The text Printing & Coating Process Technology sets the White spot to print white under gray,
and the orange square sets the Varnish spot to print Varnish only on top of orange.

You can check the image work through the video below.
We recommend that you do not skip the content of the video and watch it carefully.
2. Caution _How to make Spot color
A. As Rip is updated
- Spot_2, white is changed to Spot_1, so the White spot layer name should be Spot_1.
- Spot_4, Varnish is changed to Spot_2, so the Varnish spot layer name should be Spot_2.
- If you set the names correctly like this, Spot_1 and Spot_2 will be immediately set to White and Varnish in Rip without separate designation.
B. If you do not select [Overprint Preview] in [Separation Preview]
There is no problem with printing, but the color layer color will not be known, as shown on the left side of the image below.
Please proceed by selecting [Preview Duplicate Print].

C. After creating the Spot_1 white layer, “I can see the white, but when I check the color channel on the Rip, the original color doesn’t come out.”
When I checked the AI file itself in Illustrator, the spots were set correctly, but the overprinting of the paint was missing.
II. Issues Received _How to make Spot color
1. Why Varnish spot isn’t work _How to make Spot color
“Ah, I finally found the cause. When I made the White spot, I copied it from the original, and when I made the Varnish spot, I copied the White spot image, and that was the cause. Both the White spot and the Varnish spot work fine when I copy them from the original image.”
“As you said before, I copied the original and created a White spot channel, and copied the original and created a Varnish spot, but the Varnish doesn’t print.”
The Varnish layer is placed below the color layer, so the Varnish doesn’t print. The White Varnish layer must be placed above the color layer.
2. Solve the compound pass _How to make Spot color
The color layer color should appear, but when creating a Spot color as shown below, only the set color appears.

When saving a file, a message like the following appears:
“When using spot colors with transparency, changing them to blended colors outside of Illustrator can lead to unexpected results.”
I ignored this and just saved it, but it seemed to be related to the current issue.

And, the compound path was solved as follows.

3. Clipping Mask _How to make Spot color
After searching, I found that clipping mask is an effect that overlaps two images and makes them visible at the same time.
When setting the spot for these images, it seems that only the visible part is not captured as a spot because they are two images, even though they are not visible.
It seems to work in the Ai file, but when I load it in Sai rip and check each channel, it is not captured.
If the spot channel is not captured properly in the rip, you need to release the clipping mask.
4. Why do small letters disappear? _How to make Spot color
It was a problem for which I couldn’t figure out the cause no matter how much I thought about it. In the end, it turned out that the small white letters had disappeared due to choke.
