SPOT-ON 52 SPOT-ON The Spot Color Matching print option automatically matches spot colors with their best CMYK equivalents so that spot colors can be simulated using the CMYK toner of the copier. However, you may want to adjust the default CMYK equivalents to achieve a better match for your specific printing conditions. You can modify spot colors using the Spot-On spot color editor in Command WorkStation. NOTE: Spot colors are also called "named" colors because a color name is used to represent a specific CMYK value. Spot-On in Command WorkStation is part of the Productivity Package option on the E100. Substitute Colors In addition to managing "named" colors, Spot-On allows you to create a list of "substitute" colors. These are colors that, when called for in a document by their RGB or CMYK values, are substituted with a different color having the CMYK values from the Spot-On color dictionary. This permits exact color control and overrides individual RGB and CMYK colors. NOTE: You cannot use the Substitute Colors and Postflight features at the same time. These print options are constrained from the printer driver. How Spot-On works Spot-On allows you to adjust and manage lists of spot colors and their CMYK equivalents. The matching lists of spot colors and CMYK values are known as Spot Color Dictionaries. Spot-On allows you to maintain multiple Spot Color Dictionaries for each output profile on the E100. In Spot-On, you specify the job properties you will use to print. Based on the settings, SpotOn determines the output profile and its associated Spot Color Dictionary. If you select Output profile X and redefine PANTONE 123 from 30%M to 50%M using Spot-On, you will get 50%M when you print a job with Output profile X. If you print a job with Output profile Y, you will get the original value. If you select Output profile X and create a custom color named "My Purple" and define it as 80%C 40%M, ColorWise automatically calculates the Lab values using Output profile X and creates new CMYK values for use with Output profile Y. To use the Spot-On features with named colors, you must enable the Spot Color Matching print option. For more information about this option, see page 26.

Spot colors are also called “named” colors because a color name is used to represent a
specific CMYK value.

Substitute Colors
In addition to managing “named” colors, Spot-On allows you to create a list of “substitute”
colors. These are colors that, when called for in a document by their RGB or CMYK values,
are substituted with a different color having the CMYK values from the Spot-On color
dictionary. This permits exact color control and overrides individual RGB and CMYK colors.

How Spot-On works
Spot-On allows you to adjust and manage lists of spot colors and their CMYK equivalents.
The matching lists of spot colors and CMYK values are known as Spot Color Dictionaries.
Spot-On allows you to maintain multiple Spot Color Dictionaries for each output profile on
the E100.
In Spot-On, you specify the job properties you will use to print. Based on the settings, Spot-
On determines the output profile and its associated Spot Color Dictionary.
If you select Output profile X and redefine PANTONE 123 from 30%M to 50%M using
Spot-On, you will get 50%M when you print a job with Output profile X. If you print a job
with Output profile Y, you will get the original value.
If you select Output profile X and create a custom color named “My Purple” and define it as
80%C 40%M, ColorWise automatically calculates the Lab values using Output profile X and
creates new CMYK values for use with Output profile Y.
To use the Spot-On features with named colors, you must enable the Spot Color Matching
print option. For more information about this option, see
