You can edit a spot color in a job from the Command WorkStation Held list.
The Fiery server will detect a job that includes spot colors.
-
Select a spooled job in the Held list, and right-click to select
View/Edit Spot color or from or click the Edit icon (
)

You can do one of the following when editing a spot color in a job:
Note: The available spot colors
in the job are listed and have been associated to the correct spot color
library, spot color group, or the named ICC profile.
- Resolve a missing spot
color by adding it to the Fiery server, or
aliasing it to an existing spot color on the Fiery server.
Add a missing spot color by defining the L*a*b*, LCH or device CMYK
values and adding it to an existing group or creating a new group to
add it to.
Note: For printers that support CMYK+ configurations, you can define CMYK
colorants plus additional colorants.
- All spot colors can be
added to an existing custom group or new custom group. Missing spot
colors may be added one by one, by defining or aliasing.
- Resolve duplicate spot colors when the existing group already has a spot
color with the same name as one of the spot colors being saved.
If a
spot color with the same name exists in the existing group, you can
choose not to have the existing spot color replaced with the new
edits.
- Manage Alias spot colors.
All the Alias mapping that exists on the server is shown. All Alias
edits need to be ‘updated’ and may take a while to refresh on the
server.
- For printers that support
specialty color, you can add specialty colors to spot colors.
Note: Specialty colors
cannot be turned on or off with the job-based spot color editor, and
require to be turned on or off from the job properties.
- Print a swatch book by printing all the spot colors in the job. Missing
spots are identified as an 'empty' patch with the spot color name
printed underneath the patch.
