Spot Color Editor overview 51 8. Click Close to close the Resource Center. The new source ICC profile is added to the Color flow tab in the job parameters window. Spot Color Editor overview A spot color is a specially mixed ink that you can use to reproduce colors that are difficult to reproduce with CMYK inks. Individual job pages can contain RGB, CMYK, and spot color elements. The IC-309m2 print controller Spot Color Editor enables you to edit the values of every spot color in the spot color dictionary. The IC-309m2 print controller in turn translates these CMYK values to K values only.The edited spot color is saved in a custom dictionary. When the IC-309m2 print controller identifies a spot color in a job, it looks for the name of the spot color in the Spot Color Library according to the settings in the Job Parameters for that specific job. If the setting for spot colors in the Job Parameters file is: ● Spot Library-The IC-309m2 print controller looks for the name of the spot color in the Spot Color Library in the following sequence: ○ Custom global library ○ Predefined global library ○ Original CMYK File values ● Original CMYK File values-The IC-309m2 print controller uses the Original CMYK File values. Note: Some PANTONE colors in the PANTONE PLUS color dictionary have the same name as PANTONE colors in the legacy PANTONE color dictionary. Therefore, in the Spot Color Editor the word Plus was added to PANTONE PLUS color names to help you distinguish between colors in the two libraries. In the job parameters windows, there is an option to select the PANTONE Plus library or the Legacy PANTONE library.
