When you select certain colors, an exclamation point icon may appear in the
N :
OTE
upper right corner of the window. This icon indicates that the center patch color lies at
the edge of the copier/printer's printable gamut and may not be reproducible. In such
cases it is recommended that you use an approximate target that lies within the gamut,
rather than the out-of-gamut color.
You can also click the center patch to enter CMYK values directly. For more
information, see the procedure on
3. Use the following techniques to control how neighboring color patches are generated:
Select either Lightness or Saturation in the Color Directions Legend.
Lightness generates neighbor patches based on darker to lighter shades of the original
color. This variation is displayed from left to right, with the original color remaining in
the center of the middle group.
Saturation generates neighbor patches based on less saturated to more saturated
variations of the original color. This variation is displayed from left to right, with the
original color remaining in the center of the middle group.
Choose a setting from the Color Spacing menu to control the closeness of the neighbor
patches.
A higher setting generates neighbor patches that differ more noticeably from the center
color. As you get closer to your target color, you will want to reduce the color spacing
to a smaller value.
Select Monitor Compensation to simulate how all the on-screen color patches will
appear when printed on paper.
This simulation depends on the monitor profile that has been configured for the
display. To specify the monitor profile, choose Preferences from the Edit menu in the
Spot-On main menu.
4. Continue adjusting the color patch controls and clicking neighbor patches until the
desired color appears in the center patch. Then click Print Pattern.
