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 your monitor.
To specify the monitor profile, choose Preferences from the Edit menu in the Spot-On
main window.
Make sure that you set your monitor according to the manufacturer's recommendations
and select the correct monitor profile for your monitor.
5 Continue adjusting the color patch controls and clicking neighbor patches until the color you
want appears in the center patch.
6 Click Print Pattern.
N : It is very difficult to accurately match spot colors on a monitor. You should always
OTE
test print to get the proper color match.
7 Choose the appropriate settings from the Output Style, Paper Size, and Paper Tray menus.
For Output Style, choose Color Search Pattern or Color Neighbor Pattern. Color Search
Pattern prints patches with the same pattern as displayed in the Color Search dialog box.
Color Neighbor Pattern prints patches in a three column by eight row format.
For Paper Size, choose the size of the paper that you want to use for printing the patches.
For Paper Tray, specify the paper source for the paper that you want to use.
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.
