Loading, appending, saving, and clearing inks
The Presets palette menu, located at the bottom-right corner of the palette, contains all the
commands for you to load, append, save, or clear inks.
Commands correspond to the name of the current ink type.
Load: Loads a stored ink palette to replace the current palette. Save the current palette if
necessary.
Append: Adds inks from a palette file to the inks on the current tab.
Save: Saves the current ink palette as a palette file. Saved ink palettes can be shared with
other Canvas users.
Clear: Removes the inks (except “no ink”) from the current ink palette. For color inks,
Canvas restores black and white (CMYK) inks after clearing all the inks.
When you add or delete inks in the palette, the changes are recorded in a Canvas Settings file, not in
the Canvas document, so the palette contents remain the same the next time you use Canvas.
Canvas won’t load or append inks that don’t correspond to the current ink type.
