conversion method in an HP Indigo workflow, as the ink characteristics of the Indigo press are
different than the characteristics of the Pantone
®
HexaChrome inks.
• HP IndiChrome: (only if an IndiChrome profile is selected) with this option Pantones will be
converted to CMYKOV according to the HP IndiChrome table. Remember that using this option
causes the Pantone
®
or spot inks not to be converted anymore with the profile, but a fixed table is
used. Investing work in the creation of a profile and then choosing this option is contradictory. This
option is used for the standard color strategy HPI-CMYKOVW
Note
If you are working with an Esko multi-color profile as destination, you can decide whether you want to
use the full color gamut (5, 6 or 7 colors) or limit the output inks to CMYK.
‘Generate no CMYK’ means you will use the full color gamut. Spot colors will be simulated using 3
colors (2 neighboring colors + black).
‘Generate only CMYK’ means that, even though you are specifying a multi-color profile, you would
like spot colors to be simulated with CMYK only.
This option makes spot color simulation cheaper (in case of Kodak Approval less donors will be used;
in case of Indigo less impressions) but also makes spot color simulation less accurate.
‘Generate preferably CMYK’ means you would like to simulate spot colors using CMYK if the color
deviation is not bigger than a certain tolerance. Only if the deviation is bigger than the entered Delta E,
it will use all available output colors.
For 7 color output (HP Indigo CMYK OGV), there is only 1 option: Use Destination Profile.
