COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS 26 Spot Color Matching The Spot Color Matching option provides automatic matching of spot colors with their best CMYK equivalents. • On: The E100 uses a built-in table to generate the closest CMYK matches of spot colors your copier can produce. (New tables are generated when you add new output profiles.) With Spot-On, the E100 uses the CMYK matches determined through Spot-On (see page 52). • Off: The E100 processes the spot color as CMYK data and uses CMYK equivalents defined by the spot color manufacturer, such as PANTONE. These are the same CMYK equivalents used by applications that include spot color libraries. NOTE: Spot colors that are not included in the built-in table are treated as CMYK. For jobs that include spot colors, set Spot Color Matching to On unless you are printing press simulations. In that case, set Spot Color Matching to Off and choose the appropriate CMYK/ Grayscale Source (see page 19). For a PDF job that includes spot colors that are not included in the built-in table, setting Spot Color Matching to On retains the original spot colors. The E100 references the built-in table to generate the closest CMYK matches of the original spot color. NOTE: Use Spot Color Matching only when printing composites, not when printing separations. Spot Color Matching and the PANTONE Coated Color Reference The PANTONE Coated Color Reference prints differently depending on the Spot Color Matching setting (see Fiery Color Reference). • On: The E100 uses a built-in table or, with Spot-On, the Spot-On color dictionaries to generate the best matches for the PANTONE colors that your copier can produce. The PANTONE number is displayed below each swatch. For more information about Spot-On, see page 52. • Off: The E100 prints swatches using the CMYK values recommended by Pantone, Inc. (and used by applications that provide PANTONE color libraries). The CMYK values used to generate the color, as well as the PANTONE number of the color, are printed below each swatch. These CMYK values are printed through the selected CMYK/ Grayscale Source and Output Profile settings.

Spot Color Matching
The Spot Color Matching option provides automatic matching of spot colors with their best
CMYK equivalents.
•
On:
The E100 uses a built-in table to generate the closest CMYK matches of spot colors
your copier can produce. (New tables are generated when you add new output profiles.)
With Spot-On, the E100 uses the CMYK matches determined through Spot-On (see
page 52
).
•
Off:
The E100 processes the spot color as CMYK data and uses CMYK equivalents
defined by the spot color manufacturer, such as PANTONE. These are the same CMYK
equivalents used by applications that include spot color libraries.
N
OTE
:
Spot colors that are not included in the built-in table are treated as CMYK.
For jobs that include spot colors, set Spot Color Matching to On unless you are printing press
simulations. In that case, set Spot Color Matching to Off and choose the appropriate CMYK/
Grayscale Source (see
page 19
).
For a PDF job that includes spot colors that are not included in the built-in table, setting Spot
Color Matching to On retains the original spot colors. The E100 references the built-in table
to generate the closest CMYK matches of the original spot color.
N
OTE
:
Use Spot Color Matching only when printing composites, not when printing
separations.
Spot Color Matching and the PANTONE Coated Color Reference
The PANTONE Coated Color Reference prints differently depending on the Spot Color
Matching setting (see
Fiery Color Reference
).
•
On:
The E100 uses a built-in table or, with Spot-On, the Spot-On color dictionaries to
generate the best matches for the PANTONE colors that your copier can produce.
The PANTONE number is displayed below each swatch.
For more information about Spot-On, see
page 52
.
•
Off:
The E100 prints swatches using the CMYK values recommended by Pantone, Inc.
(and used by applications that provide PANTONE color libraries). The CMYK values
used to generate the color, as well as the PANTONE number of the color, are printed
below each swatch. These CMYK values are printed through the selected CMYK/
Grayscale Source and Output Profile settings.
