Press the button on the spectrophotometer to take the measurement. The measured CMYK values are imported
into Spot Colors as follows:
• If an individual color is selected in the color list, its definition is updated to the measured color.
• If the Edit Spot Color or New Spot Color window is open, the Current Pick is updated to the measured
color.
• If a group is selected in the color group list, a new color with the measured values is created within the group.
Substitute colors
The Substitute Colors feature is used to map a color in a job to a different color in the printed output.
Color substitutions affect only text, vector graphics, and line art. They have no effect on raster images.
When a color is defined as a substitute color, the settings for an RGB color (such as RGB Source, Rendering Style,
and RGB Separation) or CMYK color (such as CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation Method) have no
effect. The color is converted with a process similar to spot color conversion.
Important: You cannot use the Substitute Colors and Postflight features at the same time. These print options are
constrained.
Using the Substitute Colors feature involves the following tasks:
•
Configure the Substitute Color values in Command WorkStation.
•
Print a document with the Substitute Colors print option turned on.
Configure substitute colors
A substitute color resides in a special type of spot color group called a substitute group. For a substitute color, you
specify the CMYK value of the original color and the CMYK value of the color that substitutes for the original color.
1
In Device Center, click the Resources tab and click Spot Colors.
2
If a substitute group already exists, select the substitute group and skip to 5. Otherwise, to create a substitute
group, select the location in the color group list where you want the new substitute group to be placed.
3
Click New and select Substitute Group.
4
Type a name for the group and click OK.
5
Select the location in the color list where you want the new substitute color to be placed.
6
Click New and select Substitute Color .

Select a color mode for specifying the original color value.
8
Select a tolerance degree for the original color.
Tolerance determines how close a particular color must be to the original color to match. Small and Large are
defined as follows:
Color mode Small tolerance range Large tolerance range
CMYK (0-100%) +/- 0.25% +/- 0.5%
