Spot colors
About reducing and preserving spot colors (overview)
When job files contain spot colors, you need to figure out whether to
reduce them.
You can handle a spot color in several ways:
●
Preserve it so that it remains in the job files, appears in a proof, or
appears in final output.
●
Convert it to process color.
●
Map it to another spot color.
●
Omit it from proofs or final output.
You can handle spot colors at several stages in the workflow:
●
Refine: See About Reducing and Preserving Spot Colors During
Refine.
●
Proof: See About Reducing and Preserving Spot Colors in Proofs.
●
Final output: See About Reducing and Preserving Spot Colors in
Final Output.
To determine whether to reduce or preserve spot colors, evaluate the
spot colors in your input files and compare that to the spot colors
expected in the output. Use the table below to select the procedure
that best suits your job.
