1. In the SPOT COLOR CORRECTION dialog (Fig. 15-6), click on NEW SPOT
COLORS. The MANUAL SPOT COLOR INPUT dialog appears (Fig. 15-7).
2. Enter a name for the new color into the COLOR NAME box.
3. Enable the AUTO ADD option if the measured colors should be automatically
added to the list in the SPOT COLOR CORRECTION dialog.
Otherwise you have to click the ADD button after each measurement.
4. Specify the TONAL VALUES to be measured.
Enter 100 to measure solid tones only. (Instead of measuring, you
could also type the Lab values into the L a b boxes on the left.)
Enter 100 60 40, for example, to additionally measure the 60% and
40% value. The values can be separated by any character which is
no digit. You can also select from a list of predefined tonal values.
5. If known, specify the spot color’s OPACITY and PRINT ORDER.
6. The selected measurement device is indicated in the dialog. Click the
SELECT button if you want to select another device.
7. Click the START MEASUREMENTS button.
8. Usually the following steps need to be taken for the first measurement
only:
• A message appears telling you to place the instrument onto its
base. A white calibration will be performed automatically.
• A message appears telling you to place the instrument onto the
paper white (a white area of the proofing substrate or sample).
9. Now the button you have clicked indicates MEASURE 100%.
Place the measurement head on the patch with the solid tone. Then
press the button on the measurement device.
10.When measuring spot color halftones, the button indicates the next
tonal value to be measured. Measure this patch in the same way.
11.Having measured all tonal values, the color name and the measurement
values appear automatically in the MANUAL SPOT COLOR INPUT
dialog (see Fig. 15-7). If the AUTO ADD option is not enabled, however,
you have to click the ADD button.
