Question
​How do I print on clear media using white?            

Answer
When you're printing white on transparent media you need to be aware of the following factors.
1. Match the settings for the print mode to the printing method (single-pass, dual-pass, white only, or CMYK colors only)
2. The type of ink
3. How the printed object is to be displayed (the printed surface or the opposite surface)

1. Match the settings for the print mode to the printing method (single-pass, dual-pass, white only, or CMYK colors only)

Print Mode Overview* _____________________Overview                                                                            
CMYK (v) + PASS                               This mode is for printing CMYK color data only. White ink is not used.
 
CMYK (v) onWhite                              This print mode is for dual-pass printing. This is selected as the print mode for
                                                        CMYK color data when printing in the sequence of first white data, then CMYK
                                                        color data.
 
CMYK (v) underWhite                         This print mode is for dual-pass printing. This is selected as the print mode for
                                                        CMYK color data when printing in the sequence of first CMYK color data, then
                                                        white data.
 
White -> CMYK (v)                             This print mode is for single-pass printing. Printing of white data and CMYK color
                                                        data is performed in a single pass, but the sequence is such that the white ink is
                                                        overprinted by the CMYK color inks.
 
CMYK -> White (v)                            This print mode is for single-pass printing. Printing of white data and CMYK color
                                                       data is performed in a single pass, but the sequence is such that the CMYK color
                                                       inks are overprinted by the white ink.
 
White (v) W - PASS                           This is the mode for dual-pass or white-only printing. When performing either
                                                       type of printing, this is selected as the print mode when printing white data.
*Note: Select print modes may not be available on some of the Roland printer models.
