Automatic spot color optimization

Spot Pro can automatically measure and optimize one or more selected spot colors using a qualified in-line spectrophotometer color measurement device. Automatic optimization may reduce the color difference (∆E) and provide a better colorimetric match. You can optimize custom spot colors and spot colors from the internal spot color library.

Spot Pro requires a qualified in-line spectrophotometer color measurement device.

  1. In Spot Pro, select one or more spot colors or a spot color group.
  2. Click Optimize, then selectAutomatic.
  3. In the Automatic settings window, select whether to optimize Selected colors only or All spot colors.
    1. If selecting All spot colors, choose to apply optimization to one of the following options:
      • All spot colors in this group
      • Only the selected spot colors
      • All spot colors in all groups
  4. Specify the number of iterations to perform, between 1 and 5.
  5. Select a paper or media source and click OK.

    Spot Pro prints and measures each iteration and generates the Fiery Spot Color Report. The report indicates the ΔE measurements for each spot color, and provides statistics including the average ΔE and maximum ΔE values.

  6. You can save the Fiery Spot Color Report as either a PDF file or HTML file. To save the report:
    1. From the Fiery Spot Color Report window, select Save Report.
    2. Select the location to save the report.
    3. Rename the report file name or accept the default file name.
    4. Select PDF File or HTML File for the file type and click Save.
