Your design dreams realized.
Welcome to more visual “wow!”
Most print designers we know dream of working
on a project that involves specialty effects. There
are a number of eye-catching finishes that can be
applied by industrial printing companies, including
using spot Fluorescent inks during printing or adding
foiling or varnishes post-print. However, the extra
cost and time involved can make these projects
difficult to achieve, especially for smaller runs.
Xerox® Adaptive CMYK Plus Technology for the
Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 Printer changes that.
This innovative accessory lets you add high-value
enhancements to short-run digital easily and cost-
effectively with Gold, White, Silver, and Clear
Toners, or with Fluorescent Cyan, Fluorescent
Magenta, and Fluorescent Yellow Toners.
2*Ask your print service provider which Specialty Toner colors they have available.
Xerox® Adaptive CMYK Plus Technology makes it easy for you to breathe more inspiration
into print while sticking to your clients’ budgets and timelines.
USING TRADITIONAL METHODS
TO ADD SPARKLE AND GLOW:
USING ADAPTIVE CMYK PLUS
TECHNOLOGY:
Say goodbye to costly processes
and hello to new jobs.
Add days to your
production timeline.
While beautiful,
post-process specialty
enhancements like foil
stamping are labor-
and time-intensive.
Add cost.
All that labor makes
foil stamping expensive.
Also, it can be applied only
to static (non-variable)
elements.
Deliver more enhancements—on demand.
Add a wide variety of fluorescent or metallic,
white, and clear embellishments to any job
element, whether it be static or variable.* Jobs are
printed at the same speed as CMYK-only. No extra
time is needed for setup or drying!
Ideal for:
Greeting cards and invitations
Flyers and brochures
Posters and signage
Event tickets, gift vouchers, and more!

Create a spot color effect:
Each of our Vivid Toner Kit colors—
Gold, White, Silver, and Clear—
can be used on its own to create
stunning spot effects. Our metallic
inks contain reflective metallic
pigments that deliver true sparkle
and shine, amplifying your designs.
Use more than one spot color
effect together:
Want to use more than one spot
effect in a job? No problem! Adaptive
CMYK Plus Technology loads four
Vivid Toners at the same time,
so you aren’t limited to only one
enhancement color per job.
Layer CMYK with Vivid Toners:
When you need a vibrant visual,
think about the impact Vivid Toners
can make when layered with CMYK.
By re-running your base CMYK art
with a second pass of Vivid Toners,
you can add a high-impact layer of
“wow”—simply and cost-effectively.
Get ready to shine.
Create stunning specialty effects with Vivid Toners:

Print up to four Vivid Toners in a single pass.
Real metallic effects: The sparkle
of metallic Vivid Toners can be used
on their own or layered over other
colors—either CMYK or Fluorescent—
to amplify content in new, visually
stunning ways.
White and Clear effects: Create
new opportunities for unique design
expression. Unlock a broader range
of specialty media with White Toner,
and enhance virtually any stock with
White or Clear design elements.

Xerox® Adaptive CMYK Plus Technology is an innovative accessory kit that lets your print provider swap out
their Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 Printer’s CMYK Toner with high-value Vivid Toners in minutes.
While Vivid Toners register well to each other on each side of a page, there can be some variation on jobs
that require multiple toner sets, due to the fact that paper must be manually re-run through the press after
the toners are swapped. Planning for this with designs that allow for registration variation will help you
maximize the technology’s benefits. You will learn more in this guide.

DESIGNING WITH A VIVID TONER SPOT COLOR
Make your designs stand out with a simple spot color effect.
Spot effects are stunning
in their simplicity.
Use Gold, White, Silver, or Clear
Vivid Kit Toners alone to add
immediate, cost-effective value
to graphics and text.
Spot color effects can be created
in several ways:
• In smaller areas, like graphics
or text using a single toner.
• In larger flood areas, as with
a Clear overlay.

DESIGNING WITH A VIVID TONER SPOT COLOR
Choosing to add Gold, White, Silver, or Clear spot effects to design application created in Adobe®
Creative Suite requires this simple process to help ensure accurate print results:
Spot color names are specific. Please reproduce exactly as shown here so the printer knows where to apply the Vivid Toner.
Since specialty effects are applied at the printer, your
files won’t accurately depict the printed results. We
recommend you choose an on-screen color to make
spot effects easily identifiable within your files.
In this guide, we will use:
• PMS 871C for Gold
• 100% Cyan for White
• PMS 877C for Silver
• 100% Yellow for Clear

When you hand your job
off for production, be sure
to tell your print provider
to run it with the Xerox®

Remember to ask for a
proof on your specified
stock. This will help ensure
the printed result matches
your design intent.

DESIGNING WITH MULTIPLE VIVID TONER SPOT COLORS
Print up to four spot Vivid Toner colors in ONE pass.*
Amplify the power of Vivid Toner
spot effects by using more than
one color at a time.
Adaptive CMYK Technology allows a print
provider with a Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/
C9070 Printer to swap out their CMYK
Toners with Vivid Toners, giving you the
ability to print up to four high-value
specialty spot colors at the same time.
The key thing to remember when
overlapping objects: knockout and
transparency are created based on layer
order and object effect (i.e., Multiply)
within your design file.
See the Insider Insights section at the
end of this guide for more information.
*Each “pass” represents a single trip through the printer.
18
In this example,
we’ll show you how
to use all four Vivid
Toners together in
one pass.
Print up to four spot colors in ONE pass.
Start by determining what spot color effects you want—Gold, White, Silver, and/or Clear—and
where those effects will be applied within your design file.

objects are in front of others.*
The PrimeLink® Printer will
translate your design—including
the object positioning, spot
colors, and any transparency
effects you have specified—
to the paper.

up to eight colors on a page.
DESIGNING WITH CMYK AND VIVID TONERS
Print CMYK and Vivid Toner colors in TWO passes.
Layering CMYK prints with Vivid
Toners unleashes a whole new set
of design possibilities.
Use solids or tints of Gold, White,
Silver, or Clear Toners with CMYK
to bring a whole-new “wow” factor
to digital print.
CMYK and Vivid Toners are printed
in two passes, so designs must be
optimized so they do not require
exact registration between the two
toner sets.
24
In this example,
we’ll show you how
to use CMYK and Vivid
Toners together.
Bring it all together.
DESIGNING WITH CMYK AND VIVID TONERS
You can enhance visual interest by layering areas of CMYK with Vivid Toners to create
imaginative, eye-catching designs.
This example uses:
Magenta
SGold
25
Layering Vivid Toners on top of CMYK can amplify their impact...
NOTE:
Because a two-pass job like this
requires the paper to be manually
run through the printer a second
time, you should design for
registration variation.
For more information on this, see
the Insider Insights section at the
end of this guide.
When designing for jobs that
use both CMYK and Vivid
Toners, you should apply
CMYK in the first pass and
Vivid Toners in the second.
Choose where each toner set’s
colors will stand on their own
and where they will be layered
within your design.

Create an eye-catching “Spot Wow”
with Fluorescent spot colors:
Fluorescent Cyan, Fluorescent
Magenta, and Fluorescent Yellow
can be used on their own or layered
with Grayscale imagery to grab—and
hold—attention.
Unlock an intriguing glow with
blended Fluorescent process printing:
Because the Fluorescent Toner Kit
contains Fluorescent Cyan, Fluorescent
Magenta, and Fluorescent Yellow—in
addition to Black—you can design in
CMYK and still get an extra pop and
glow when you print with blends.
Specify various Fluorescent Spot colors
for added pop!
Design as you would for standard CMYK
to create blends of Fluorescent colors.
Get ready to glow.

Spot effects are stunning
in their simplicity.
Creating Fluorescent spot colors
is simple.
The easiest way to use Fluorescent
Toners is to specify a spot (or spots)
of Fluorescent Cyan, Fluorescent
Magenta, or Fluorescent Yellow.
Contrasting Fluorescent Toners with
Black elements within a design helps
Fluorescent colors pop even more.
Note: Some Fluorescent colors pop
more than others. Always be sure
to test your jobs to be sure they are
printing as expected.
32
Add a spot color effect to graphics or text.
DESIGNING WITH FLUORESCENT SPOT COLORS
Naming Fluorescent colors correctly and specifying them as “Spots” in your Adobe® design file
will deliver more saturated colors when printing.
If you leave these colors tagged as “Process” in your design file, they will
still print with fluorescence—but they will not be as saturated as when
they are tagged as “Spot.”

INSIDER INSIGHTS
Xerox® Adaptive CMYK Plus Technology is an
innovative accessory kit that lets your print
provider swap out their Xerox® PrimeLink®
C9065/C9070 Printer’s CMYK Toner with
high-value Specialty Toners in minutes.
While Specialty Toners register well to each
other on each side of a page, there can be
some variation on jobs that require both
CMYK and Specialty Toners, due to the fact
that paper must be manually re-run through
the printer after the toners are swapped.
Planning for this with designs that allow for
registration variation will help you maximize
the technology’s benefits.
45
The enhancement techniques shown in this guide will print differently depending on your
stock surface. Coated or silk sheets deliver smoother effects than uncoated.
It’s always a good idea to proof a design on your chosen stock prior to a full
production run. This will help ensure the final result matches your design intent.
