Specialty color and spot color mixing

Spot Pro supports adding, editing, or mixing specialty colors to process spot colors. Specialty colors are not supported for every Fiery server. You can add or edit more than one specialty color depending on the capability of the printer or press.

A specialty color mixed with a spot color cannot be saved in any of the supported file formats (Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ase), .cxf, .icc, or .icm).

Advanced users can edit or create a spot color and add specialty colors, such as silver, gold, and neon pink, to generate unique effects for printing symbols or monograms.

Spot Pro supports editing with specialty color on Fiery servers that meet one of the following criteria:
  • The specialty color must be installed on the printer or press to be available in Spot Pro.
  • The specialty color must be licensed and does not need to be installed on the printer or press to be available in Spot Pro.

When you launch Spot Pro, the Specialty Colors feature is disabled by default. To enable the specialty colors feature, you must load and configure the specialty colorant on the Fiery server, and you must turn on the Specialty Colors feature for a specific color group in Spot Pro.

Note: The Fiery Graphic Arts Pro Package must be installed on a Fiery server with Fiery system software FS400 Pro or later.
