Using Spot-On

The ColorWise Spot Color Matching option automatically matches spot colors with their best CMYK equivalents so that spot colors can be simulated using the CMYK toner of the copier/printer. However, you may want to adjust the default CMYK equivalents to achieve a better match for your specific printing conditions.

Spot-On allows you to adjust and manage lists of spot colors and their CMYK equivalents. The matching lists of spot colors and CMYK values are known as Spot Color Dictionaries. Spot-On allows you to maintain multiple Spot Color Dictionaries—one for each output profile on the GA-1121.

NOTE: In order to use Spot-On CMYK equivalents, you must enable the Spot Color

Matching option (see page 1-10).

Starting Spot-On

You can start Spot-On from ColorWise Pro Tools. To work with Spot-On, you must first specify the output profile associated with the Spot Color Dictionary that you want to edit. However, you may switch to a different output profile at any time while working with Spot-On.

NOTE: The GA-1121 allows only one user connection through Spot-On at a time.
