Chapter 72:
Additional ColorID Software Features
This chapter provides information about additional features in the ColorID software beyond the
basic operational features that are described in the chapter,
Using ColorID . These features are:
♦
Setting up an inventory.
♦
Choosing the color match criteria.
♦
Verifying foil color matches.
♦
Using GerberColor Spectratone II colors.
Setting up an inventory
The inventory is the list of matching palettes (materials and colors) that you have in stock to
match to the Source Color. This feature is included in ColorID so that when the program
determines the color matches, it can also tell you if you have the vinyl or foil available to make
the match. ColorID automatically alerts you if you do not have the proper colors in stock to
create the match.
Note: You do not have to enter and maintain an inventory if you do not want to. In that case,
ColorID assumes that you have all colors of all materials in stock and does not alert you to an
inventory shortage. For related information about inventory matches, refer to the paragraph
“Choosing the color match criteria.”

features are not available.
