You manage Color Libraries under the Resources / Color Controls / Color Libraries tab.

You can Import Color Libraries in .dat format, which is the same format supported by Kodak PRINERGY Connect and PRINERGY Evo. Additional color libraries are available for download from Kodak Partner Place.

You can also hit the Add button to create a new library, with colors that you define yourself

Note that all colors in PRINERGY Access are defined in L*a*b* color space. L*a*b* definitions provide the most accurate color match when converting spot colors to a specific print condition.


Use Search to find a specific color in the library. Library Name is the name that will be visible when adding color libraries to Workflow Pipelines.
