Measure and import spot color values
If you have a measurement instrument (such as the EFI ES-2000 spectrophotometer) that can measure a single color
sample, you can import a measured color value directly into a spot color definition. This feature allows you to match
spot colors based on the actual colors of physical objects, such as the red of a printed logo or the yellow of a
packaging envelope.
Before you begin
Note: To use an X-Rite i1Pro or i1Pro 2, you must use an instrument obtained from EFI. An instrument obtained
from another source will not work with Spot Colors.
1
Install and set up the spectrophotometer for use with your computer.
For installation and setup instructions, see the documentation that accompanies the instrument.
2
In Device Center, click the Resources tab and click Spot Colors.
3
Make sure that the instrument is connected and click Instrument.
4
Place the spectrophotometer in its calibration cradle and click Calibrate. Calibration improves the accuracy of
measurements.
5
Select the desired color group and click New > Spot Color, or double-click the spot color to edit.
6
Place the spectrophotometer over the target color, making sure to center the sample aperture over the color.
