Epson R1900 manual How to use Custom Palette, Palette section, IBM Blue

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.Next, after finding a more suitable Start Color, write down that color’s RGB 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 R:32

G:80. Take note of these values. Then, at the bottom left of the Color

Finder palette you will see a full set of RGB values. The new Start Color’s RGB value would be R:32 G:80 and whatever the RGB values are from the full set.

3.Lastly, plug the RGB 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 1-3until you find your desired color.

V.The Custom Palette

Let us assume that you have found the exact color you need using the Color Finder tool. What you will want to do next is apply these custom color values to either an existing palette, or to create a new custom palette altogether. This allows you access to this color again should the same job arise.

How to use Custom Palette:

• First, you need to assign the RGB values of the matched color from the Color Finder palette to the Output Color RGB fields in the Custom

	Palette section.
	• Give your new custom color a descriptive Name in its designated field (e.g.
	IBM Blue).
	• Next, assign an RGB Input Color Value. There are two methods to establish
	this value.
	1. If you have the original file, sample the color that was matched in your
	graphic design application with the eye dropper tool. This will give you
	the RGB value of that color. Input this value into the RGB Input Color
	fields of the Custom Palette section.
	2. If you do not have the original file or the artwork has not yet been
	designed, simply click on the ‘Input Color Chooser’ button, and then click
	on “Define Custom Colors”. From the color matrix, find a color that
	closely resembles the color that you are adding to the custom palette.
	At the bottom-right of the color matrix window are the RGB values.
	Simply click ‘OK’ and the RGB Input Color values will be automatically
	entered. Please take note of these RGB values for later use in your design
	applications.
	• Click the Add Color button. A window will pop up asking you whether you
	want to add the color to the palette for all substrates or just the current
	substrate. Click ‘YES’ here unless you have the same custom color saved on
	palettes for other substrates. Another window will then ask you if you want
	to save the custom color for all resolutions or just the current one. Click
	‘YES’ here unless you have the same custom color saved on palettes for other
	resolutions.
42	• Lastly, click the Save Palette button. When finished, simply Exit out of the window.
