To convert all spot colors to process:
In the Ink Manager, click All to Process. The icon to the left of the color on the ink list
changes to CMYK color mode, and the spot colors disappear from the Ink List.
To restore your spot colors, deselect All to Process.
Note: The process color equivalents may not exactly match the original spot colors.
Selecting this option removes any ink aliases you have set up in the Ink Manager, and can
also affect overprinting and trapping settings in your document.
To convert individual spot colors to process:
In the Ink Manager, click the ink type icon to the left of the spot color or aliased spot color.
A four-color process icon appears.
Creating an alias for a spot color
If a document contains too many spot colors (for example, more than your service
provider can print), you can print a spot color as a different ink. You can see the effects of
ink aliasing in the printed output, and on-screen if Overprint Preview mode is on. You can
create aliases to spot colors only.
To create an ink alias:
1 Click Ink Manager in the Output panel of the Print dialog box, or choose Ink Manager in
the Swatches palette menu.
