Start Spot Pro

You can start Spot Pro from Device Center in Command WorkStation.

You can add spot colors to a new or existing custom color group. You cannot add new spot colors to a system group.

  1. Start Spot Pro in one of the following ways:
    • In Job Center, click Spot Pro from the toolbar.
    • Click Server > Spot Pro.
    • Click the More icon (three vertical dots) next to the server name in the Servers pane.
    • In Device Center, click Resources > Spot Pro.
    Note: When connected to one or multiple Fiery servers in Command WorkStation, only one instance of Spot Pro can be opened. This allows you to continue working with jobs in Command WorkStation Job Center or Device Center.
  2. Click Launch Spot Pro.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To create a new spot color, click New > Spot Color.

      Spot Pro retrieves information from the connected printer and uses it to check whether new spot colors can be accurately reproduced.

    • To open an existing spot color group, click Open in the toolbar, and browse to a spot color group. Spot Pro can import spot colors from the following file formats: Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ASE), CXF, ICC, and ICM.

      Note: For macOS Mojave 10.14, click Options to select and open the file format.

      When you import a .CXF file that contains multiple copies of the same spot color, you will be notified through an error message stating the file contains duplicates. Only the first instance of the spot color will be used. You can fix the .CXF file within the original application that created the file.
