All Illustrator documents contain the spot color "[Registration]" which can be used to print to all plates of a separation. If no properties are specified when creating a new spot, default properties will be provided. However, if specifying the color, you must use the same color space as the document, either CMYK or RGB. Otherwise, an error will result. When created, the spot is inserted into the swatch palette at the end.
