Note
See your application’s manual for instructions on setting up color components in your application. Using CMYK to specify color components may result in colors that do not match the desired spot colors.
Also, some applications make internal adjustments to pro- duce the displayed color components. In such cases, the color components cannot be restricted and therefore spot colors cannot be used.
Color compositions different from those shown above will be interpreted and printed as normal full color.
