System and method for producing clear colorant on imposed multi-pass pages

摘要

According to exemplary methods herein, a print job comprising an electronic document and job attributes including an imposition template is received into a marking device having a print engine using a standard color gamut and another colorant. A sheet of the job is analyzed for the standard color gamut and for the other colorant. The layout of images for multiple pages of the electronic document on the sheet is determined and the number of passes of the sheet through the print engine is determined based on image requirements for each page on the sheet. User selectable instructions modify the printing instructions for selected pages on the sheet. The user selectable instructions include parameters associated with the number of passes of the sheet through the print engine and the use of the standard color gamut and the other colorant in the images for printing each of the pages on a substrate.
