System information

By default, the Fiery Server has several PANTONE color groups, including PANTONE Goe, and a System color
group. It might have the DIC, HKS, and TOYO color groups as well. These standard groups are locked. You cannot
delete, rename, or export a locked group, and you cannot add, rename, or delete the spot colors in a locked group or
change the priority order of the spot colors.
Select the output profile for spot color edits
The Fiery Server maintains a spot color dictionary for each output profile. When you edit spot colors, your edits are
applied to spot colors in jobs that are printed using the specified output profile.
Depending on your Fiery Server, you can either select the output profile directly or you can specify the print settings
(job properties) of a job that will use the spot colors that you are editing. The Fiery Server determines the output
profile from the print settings.
Specifying the print settings is useful if the Output Profile setting for the job that will use the edited spot colors is
Use Media Defined Profiles rather than a specific profile. In this case the Fiery Server determines the output
profile from the job’s media settings, so you cannot tell which output profile to edit the spot colors for.
1
In Device Center, click the Resources tab and click Spot Colors.
2
If Output Profile appears at the top of the Spot Colors window, select the output profile from the list.
3
If Properties appears at the top of the Spot Colors window, click Properties, select the print settings for the job
that will use the edited spot colors, and click OK.
The print settings in the Properties window are the current default settings on the Fiery Server.
Note: Print settings that are not related to color management are ignored. In the case of a Mixed Media job, the
print settings for the first page are used.
The Spot Colors window is updated with the Paper Source and Output Profile settings.
Change the order of spot colors or groups
To find a spot color definition, the Fiery Server searches the colors in the color groups in the order that they are
displayed under Spot Colors. When multiple spot colors have the same name, priority is given to the one that the
Fiery Server finds first when searching from the top of the list. You might find it necessary to change the order of
color groups, or of spot colors within a group, to give priority to a particular spot color definition.
Note: You cannot change the order of colors within a locked color group.
