Alps Electric MD-1300 manual ∙ Color compositions using Cymk settings n/100%, Spot color

Chapter 2 - Various Printing Operations

The colors (and color compositions) associated with spot colors are shown in the following table.

■Colors (and color compositions) used to indicate spot colors In multi spot color printing, indicate spot colors by selecting colors in the application that resemble the spot colors.

As much as possible, try to select colors that resemble the spot colors to be printed. In applications that do not have many color choices, such as word processors, closely related colors can be used.

In this case, however, check the color output by executing a test print to make sure the correct spot colors are printed.

Spot color	Application color used to indicate the spot color
Metallic Gold	Yellow (or yellow-orange)
Metallic Silver	Gray
Metallic Magenta	Magenta, Red (a red close to magenta)
Metallic Cyan	Cyan, Blue (a blue close to cyan)
White	Light gray (a gray close to white)
(Normal) Black	Normal black (R=G=B=0 or C=M=Y=0, K=100)

The following table indicates the color compositions settings that will most closely resemble the printed results. In applications that allow the user to make color composition settings, adjust the settings as shown below.

Note

For instructions on changing color composition settings in an application, refer to the manual that came with your appli- cation. Depending on the application, a spot color may not print correctly even though the color settings were properly set in the application. Check the Preview window before printing, and try increasing or decreasing the setting to get the correct metallic color to print.
