Enhancing spot tint colors

You can use two methods to enhance spot tint colors. You can use the spot tint libraries that you created for selected spot color libraries. Alternately, you can provide information that the software can use to calculate the spot tint colors for the selected spot color libraries.

Requirements: Spot tint libraries must exist for the selected spot color libraries, if you are using spot tint library method.

Both methods let you choose whether to simulate the highlight bump or highlight minimum dot seen in flexographic printing. When printing white content with the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 printer and white ink and using a CIE L*a*b* color library, select Calculate All Spot Tint Colors. For L*a*b* color libraries, do not select Use Spot Tint Library because the Opacity option is not yet supported.

1. On the Spot Colors tab, set the following options:
   1. In the Handling list, select Don't map spots. In the Handling list, select Map Spots to Process Enable Spot Tint.
   2. Select the Auto Resolve Spot Color Naming Conflicts check box.
   3. Select the Look Up In Spot Color Database check box.
   4. In the User Library list and/or the Factory Library list, select a library.
2. Select the Enhance Spot Tint Color check box.

3. Perform one of the following actions:

   To	Do this
   Use a spot tint library	Select the Use Spot Tint Library check box. In the Spot Tint Library list, select a spot tint library. The list displays only enabled spot tint libraries for the selected factory or user library.
   Calculate spot tint colors	Select the Calculate All Spot Tint Colors check box. In the Simulate list, specify whether to simulate a Highlight Bump, Highlight Minimum dot, or No Highlight Adjustment. Complete the remaining options. Options are available based on your selection in the Simulate list.

4. Set options as needed on the remaining tabs.

Note: On the ICC Settings tab, select a simulation device link with the same Simulate setting that is used for spot colors. The device link controls the spot-tint adjustment for CMYK colors.

1. Click Save.
