You can define up to 99 color gradients for each spot color.
Before you begin, make sure you have added a
custom spot color and defined the full tone.
By default, spot colors are defined with 100% and 0% color values. 100% represents the full-tone
color. 0% represents the color of the media. By default, 0% equals the unmeasured value for pure
white. If your media is not pure white, you can change the color value for 0%.

Under My Custom Spot
Colors, select a spot color.

Characterization tab.
