The Finisher effect defines a coating that will cover an area of the design and protect it from scratches and UV. The finish can be applied as a rectangle covering an entire area of the design, or as a shape that follows the outlines of the design.
After a finish area is created, the area and the objects it was created for become a single compound object. These make use the Finisher Spot Color. This spot color is device dependent, but the vast majority of devices that support Finishing use it. If you use a different color for a finisher, it MUST be a Spot Color.
