8 Click OK to print the patches.
The Print Pattern test page provides the following information:
• Center patch color CMYK value
• Color spacing
• Lightness or Saturation neighbors selected
• Output profile selected
The goal of Spot-On Color Search is to find the color values that make a printed color patch
match a target, not its screen simulation of it. Printing a Print Pattern of neighbor color
patches allows you to compare the printed patches to the color target. After you compare the
printed patches and find the one that matches most closely, you can select the corresponding
patch on-screen.
9 Select the desired target color in the Spot-On Color Search dialog box and click OK.
The edited color appears in the color list of the Spot-On main window.
Using a measurement instrument to target colors
If you have the EFI Spectrometer ES-1000, you can import measured color values directly
into Spot-On. This feature allows you to target matches based on the actual colors of
immediate objects, such as the red of a printed logo or the yellow of a packaging envelope.

1 Install and set up the ES-1000 for use with your computer.
For installation and setup instructions, see the documentation that accompanies the
instrument.
2 Choose Start from the Instrument menu.
The Choose Port dialog box appears.
3 For Instrument, choose the instrument you will use to take measurements. For Port, choose
the serial port connection of the instrument. Click OK.
4 Place the ES-1000 over the target color, making sure to center the sample aperture over the
color. Press Measure to take the measurement.
The measured CMYK values are imported into Spot-On as follows:
• If an individual color is selected in the color list, it updates to the measured color.
• If a group is selected in the color list, a new color with the measured values is created
within the group.
