In this section you can define the output color values that are used to print the spot color.
- Use Library: searches for the color in one of the variable files. If the color exists under a different name, you can either edit its name, or search for the color in the libraries (see Library).
- Use ICC: if the color cannot be retrieved in a library, its values will be computed using the ICC profile, as if it were a process color.
- Rendering: when Use ICC is activated, your rendering options are: perceptual, colorimetric, saturation, absolute, opt. colorimetric and opt. absolute.
- CMYK…: manually enter the CMYK values here. If the profile is NColor, the other components can be set here too.
NColor is the term used to describe profiles that use extra inks as standard components such as Orange or Green. CMYKOG, CMYKOV, CMYKB are NColor profiles for example.
Library icon: opens the CMYK Color library window so you can search for a spot color in a specific color library. Select your color library from the File list. Then select the spot color from the Color list. You can use the Search field to help you find the spot color by its name. The New, Delete, Edit and Dup buttons shown below are only available for spot colors that belong to a custom library.
Save icon: saves the spot color to a library. Enter a name for the spot color and then select a library from the library list. Your spot color will be saved to the library you select.
