A spot color is a specially mixed ink that you can use to reproduce
colors that are difficult to reproduce with CMYK inks.
Individual job pages can contain RGB, CMYK, and spot color
elements.
The CX print server Spot Color Editor enables you to edit the
values of every spot color in the spot color dictionary. The edited
spot color is saved in a custom dictionary. When the CX print
server identifies a spot color in a job, it first looks for the name of
the spot color in the custom dictionary and uses the associated
CMYK values. If the spot color is not found, it looks in the
PANTONE color, HKS, DIC, and TOYO color dictionaries. If the
spot color is not found in either dictionary, the CX print server uses
the CMYK values embedded in the original file.
1. From the Tools menu, select Spot Color Editor.
2. Select the Spot color tab.
3. In the Spot Color Editor dialog box, click +.
4. Type the new color name as it is in the original file.
Note: The spot color names are case sensitive and should match the
names that appear in the original file.
5. Change the CMYK values as required.
6. Click Save.
