Why you should complete this activity
The different software programs used in the prepress/print industries use different naming conventions (using CV, CVC, and CVU endings with the file names) for identical PANTONE spot colors. Consequently, a user whose page files were created in different programs could find at least two different names for the same PANTONE color used in a single print job.
Prinergy Evo has a feature that automatically renames identical PANTONE spot color names with different endings (CV, CVC, and CVU) so that the colors remain on the same separation. For example, PANTONE 871 CV, PANTONE 871 CVC, and PANTONE 871 CVU would all be renamed to PANTONE 871 C.
