SPOT COLOR EDITING ASSISTANT TOOL FOR SPOT COLOR REPRODUCTION

摘要

A computer-implemented method for imaging of spot colors within a document using a spot color editor is provided. The method includes determining a spot color formula, using a spot color editor, for providing a colorimetric match to a desired spot color in a print job, wherein the spot color is within a color space and the spot color formula includes colorant values for each color in the color space; printing a test image of the spot color with the determined spot color formula for analysis, wherein the color composition of the spot color test image is analyzed by a user to determine whether desired image quality is achieved; and determining an updated spot color formula for providing a colorimetric match to the desired spot color in the print job based on a received input, if the desired image quality is not achieved.
