Importing files into Composer
Include Strokes
Include Strokes is available only when Print Colors is turned on. Turn on Include Strokes to
import strokes in an AI or CMX file as spot or process colors. When Include Strokes is off,
shapes with strokes only are discarded. Shapes with fills and strokes convert to just filled
shapes.
Map RGB Values to CMYK (Use Gerber Imaging Device Profile)
Choose this option to translate RGB color to reasonable CMYK colors by way of an OMEGA
color-matching table. If an RGB Source Profile (usually a working color space from Adobe
Illustrator or CorelDRAW) is chosen on the Profile tab, OMEGA Color Management uses this
profile when translating colors.
Map RGB Values to Closest GerberColor Spot Color
Choose this option to translate AI, CMX, or EPS files containing RGB solid colors to the closest
match in Gerber foils. Color results may vary due to the limited range of Gerber foils. OMEGA
maps solid colors to GerberColor Spot foils at 100% density.
If this option is chosen for an AI file that also contains gradient fills, OMEGA will map the
gradient fills to Gerber spot color gradient fills.
If this option is chosen for a CMX file that also contains gradient fills, OMEGA will not map the
gradient fills to spot colors. OMEGA maps solid colors and the first color of the gradient fills to
GerberColor Spot foils at 100% density and ignores all other gradient colors in the fill.
Tip: Gradient fills in an AI file may import more accurately using the AI 7 thru CS – (GSP 2.5)
as Vectors filter.
Map RGB Values to CMYK (Mathematical)
Choose this option to translate RGB color to CMYK colors by using a mathematical formula.
Colors may look washed out. If an RGB Source Profile (usually a working color space from
Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW) is chosen on the Profile tab, OMEGA Color Management
uses this profile when translating colors.
Map CMYK Values to CMYK values from original file
Choose Keep CMYK values from original file to translate CMYK colors used in the AI, CMX, or
EPS file as process color created using Gerber process foils. OMEGA maintains the original
CMYK color values.
Map CMYK Values to Closest GerberColor Spot Color
Choose Closest GerberColor Spot Color to translate CMYK colors to the nearest match in
GerberColor Spot foils. Color results will vary due to the limited number of Gerber foils.
OMEGA maps solid colors to GerberColor Spot foils at 100% density.
If this option is chosen for an AI file that also contains gradient fills, OMEGA will map the
gradient fills to Gerber spot color gradient fills.
If this option is chosen for a CMX file that also contains gradient fills, OMEGA will not map the
gradient fills to spot colors. OMEGA maps solid colors and the first color of the gradient fills to
GerberColor Spot foils at 100% density and ignores all other gradient colors in the fill.
