Tab 2 – Exact
When using the Exact replacement method, only incoming colours precisely matching the Match Plate name will be
replaced with the new colour. Matching is not case sensitive.
Tab 3 – Partial
When using the Partial replacement method, any incoming colours are replaced with the new colour if any part of the
name matches the Match Plate name. Matching is not case sensitive.
Tab 4 – Position
The Position method replaces any incoming Special colour in a particular plate position with the new colour.
The Exact, Partial and Position panels have a Search box at the top right used for locating colours in the replacement
list. The list itself has a series of sort columns detailing properties of each replacement colour.
Colours can be selected and dragged to another position within the list. This is useful in Position replacement where the
plate position is important.
The order of the columns can be changed by dragging them to the desired location and the headers are configurable via
a context menu. The available columns are:
• Match Plate – Shows the replacement colour swatch. The Exact or Partial name in this field is the one to be
matched to the incoming colour being replaced. In the case of Position replacement, the name shows the plate
position. Click on the name to change it.
• Values – Shows the colourspace values of the replacement colour.
• Original Name – The original name of the replacement colour in the Match Plate swatch. Click on the name to
change it.
• Space – The colourspace of the replacement colour plate.
• Mode – The Paint Mode of the colour: Overprint, Knockout, Primer, Opaque or Transparent.
• Tint – The tint or intensity of the colour.
• DotGain Curve – The name of the DotGain Curve applied to the plate (if any).
• Weight (g/m 2 ) – The Press Ink Weight of the colour in g/m 2 (if assigned).
Tab 5 – Remaining
Allocate one colour to replace Special Plates that are not matched by anything else. This only replaces special colours
and not CMYK process colours. This panel has a similar interface to the Process panel.
Colour Adjustment Panel
View and adjust the colourspace values and plate properties of a selected colour.
The name of the colour selected is shown at the top. A window displays the Original colour and Modified colour as
adjustments are being made. A correctly calibrated monitor with an assigned Match ICC profile will display an accurate
representation of the colour/s.
Available adjustment options are:
• Colourspace – Choose between Lab or CMYK (or multicolour if an N-­‐Colour ICC profile has been assigned to the
Replace Colour Set). The sliders change accordingly for making adjustments to the Lab or CMYK/N-­‐Colour
values. These can be entered directly or fine-­‐tuned using the up/down arrows.
• Paint Mode – Choose the Paint Mode for the colour. The diagram shows the Paint Mode, Opacity and Tint of the
selected colour. Choices are:
o Overprint
o Knockout
o Primer
o Opaque (adds an opacity % slider)
o Transparent
• Tint – Adjust the intensity of the colour by adjusting the slider, entering a tint value or using the up/down
arrows.
• DotGain Curve – Choose a DotGain Curve to apply to the colour.
Note: A DotGain Curve applied to a replacement colour takes precedence over global Process or Specials DotGain
Curves assigned to a Pagesetup. The Pagesetup curves are ignored for the colour.
