Re: get color overlay to work?

Jim,

I think if you define your print file as AFP with COLOR, you'll be able to 
use the color overlay with no problems. You'll always have problems with 
an SCS print file and a color overlay. Also, be sure to pick a *WSCST that 
supports color when you define the printer device or outq.

Re: get color overlay to work?






I've strongly suggested preprint the logos on the form.
However they want flexibility in which logos appear.
What they are looking for is a very "high end" invoice appearance,
but not the 10 to 15k software for the iSeries when they can
see any pc print a pdf in color....

Be aware that extensive color printing will be fairly
pricey using color lasers. I get a fair amount of static
from customers when they need to buy new cartridges.

Lexmark and HP developed a real revenue stream selling
this stuff.

Preprinted forms are going to be a good bit cheaper than
printing "in house".

An example is a Lexmark C522 color laser. To do a total
reload on cartridges costs just over $400. When you consider
that the printer only costs $400, that's a a pretty stiff
price to pay.

Why not buy the forms with "just" the color logo and
everything else blank ??? You do the rest with DDS.

From the archives, there was discussion of getting color overlays to

work on the iSeries, with no thread announcing success. Need to print a
simple invoice overlay, with color logos. It would be great if no 
additional
products needed, other than a pc product like Word or Photoshop. Has 

any

been able to do this? The price of various forms products (over 10k) is 

killing
this project for a company with only 1 pre-printed form.
