The Recipe field displays the components and the quantities corresponding
to your entries. On the right of the main window, you will see the target
color (pattern) with the color values and the color of the recipe with the
recalculated deviations in relation to the target color.
5.6 Entering a recipe
By using the command button New in the Recipe menu it is possible to
enter a recipe manually. After the color and substrate have been defined,
the components are selected from the current assortment and their quantities
entered. If the color has been defined by a measurement, the recipe
can be saved as a pallet formulation. If the color measuring process is
omitted, then the recipe color is calculated (inverse recipe calculation:
color quantities > color values). This manual entry option is mainly used
for archiving recipes not compiled using Ink Formulation.
Entering new recipes is dependent on the setting for the recipe output

The required amount of solvent is calculated based on the viscosity entry.
If the setting «Target color on white and black substrate» is being used
( see Section 22.2 «Formulation settings») then the recipe color can
be defined on white and black substrate.
1. In the main window select the assortment which includes the colors
in question.
2. On the Recipe menu click on New and define the current ink mixture.
Proceed as in Section 5.2.3 «Defining a target color». When you click
on Calculate, the recipe color is calculated from the color and basic
material quantities which have been entered.
When the current ink mixture has been defined, the Define substrate
window appears.
