Start Color Editor

You can start Color Editor from Job Center or from Job Editor. If you start from Job Editor, the spot colors of the current job are transferred to Color Editor.

You can add new spot colors to an empty or to an existing spot color table. You can also import spot colors from a different spot color table.

Do one of the following:
- In Job Editor: On the sidebar, click Color. On the Color tab, expand the Spot Colors panel, and click Edit in Color Editor.
- In Job Center: On the toolbar, click Color Editor.
Do one of the following:
- Create a new spot color table: In the toolbar, click New Table. In the New Table dialog box, type a name for the spot color table. Then, select a printer, a workflow, and a media.
  
  You do not need to select a workflow if the spot color table will be used for more than one workflow.
  
  Color Editor retrieves information about the connected printer and uses it to check whether new spot colors can be accurately reproduced. The media is required if you want to define printer-dependent spot colors.
- Open an existing spot color table: In the toolbar, click Open, and browse to a spot color table. Color Editor supports spot color tables in the following formats: CXF, BCT, ICC, or TAB.
- Import spot colors from a different spot color table: Click File > Import.

It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the Color Editor user interface before you define your first spot color (see Color Editor features, Color Editor buttons, and Select preferences in Color Editor).
