•Next, determine what Step Size you want to apply to the Color Finder palette. This is simply a question of how much you want your Start Color to fluctuate. If your Start Color is close the color you are looking for, use a low Step Size (i.e. 5 or less). However, if your start color is not close to what you are looking for, use a higher Step Size. You can enter any Step Size value between 1 and 40.

▬As an example, let’s say your Start Color is C:20, M:100, Y:150, K:0 and you select Cyan and Magenta to be your Step Colors. You also enter a Step Size of 10. When you click the ‘Print Colors’ button, your Start Color will be in the middle of the Color Finder palette and from there each color will vary the Cyan and Magenta values by 10.

•When you are finished selecting the Start Color, Step Colors, and the Step Size, click on the Print Colors button. This will print your custom Color Finder palette directly to your printer.

•After printing the Color Finder palette, transfer it to your selected substrate and then try to match your desired color to one that is on the palette. If you find a suitable match, you are finished using the Color Finder tool. Move on to the next section - The Custom Palette.

•If you couldn’t find an accurate match on the first printed Color Finder palette, don’t worry. Follow the easy steps below, and you can find a more suitable custom color.

1.First, try to locate a new Start Color from the palette that is closer than the original color.

2.Now write down that color’s CMYK value. Here is how to obtain this value. There are numbers under each color that are dependant upon which Step Colors you chose. For example, it might say C:70 M:120. Take note of these values. Then, at the bottom left of the Color Finder palette you will see a full set of CMYK values. The new Start Color’s CMYK value would be C:70, M:120 and whatever the YK values are from the full set.

3.Lastly, plug the CMYK values for the new Start Color into the boxes in Color Finder, choose your Step Size, and click on Print Colors once again. Continue with steps 1-3 until you find your desired color.
