Two-color print mapping

With Two-Color Print Mapping, you can map the process colors in a job to the process colors on a two-color printer (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, or a spot color). The Two-Color Print Mapping feature is designed for print shop operators to do the proofing for a two-color printer.

You can print a two-color job to a two-color printer by mapping the process colors in the job to the colors that are on the printer.

Note: Two-Color Print Mapping is different from Substitute Colors. Two-Color Print Mapping converts the process colors used in a job. Substitute Colors converts one color in a job to a different color.

Using the Two-Color Print Mapping feature involves the following tasks:

Configure the Two-Color Print Mapping values in Command WorkStation.
Print a document with the Two-Color Print Mapping print option turned on.

The following limitations apply when you use this feature:

Two-Color Print Mapping is ignored when Composite Overprint and Combine Separations are enabled.
Postflight does not report on Two-Color Print Mapping, because Postflight reports the source state of a document before any color conversions.
You cannot select Two-Color Print Mapping and Substitute Colors for a job at the same time. Also, you cannot select a substitute color when you configure Two-Color Print Mapping.
