[430] Spot color definitions
Spot colors realize a consistent color and are often used in logos and house style colors. The
printer provides a spot color editor and a set of pre-defined spot color libraries, such as
PANTONE libraries and HKS libraries. The library of custom spot colors contains spot colors that
users have created in the Settings Editor or on the control panel.
[431] Custom spot color library
If a source document contains a spot color definition, the printer needs to know how to print that
particular color. A spot color is the combination of a spot color name, the color value, and a tint
value. The device-independent spot color definition uses a CIELAB value (Lab value). When you
create a spot color for a specific media family you use a CMYK value.
You can add more CMYK color values to a spot color definition, for other media families that print
the spot color.
When you want to add a spot color that has the exact color value of a sample, for example in an
offset print, you measure the spot color with the i1 spectrophotometer. The measured Lab values
define the new spot color.
When you add or edit a spot color definition, you can print a patch chart to check how the set
CMYK values and small variations on these values appear on media. The printed colors and the
CMYK values of the patches give the best visual match to fine-tune the spot color for the given
media family.
