Export a color strategy

Color strategies can be exported to one single file to be used on a remote site. All elements (inks,

profiles, process links, dot gain simulation curves) will be included in one File Packer (.FP) file.

1. Open the color strategy.

2. Go to 'File' > 'Export'.

3. Browse to the directory where you want to store the exported file and click 'OK'.

Note

Ink books, profiles and device links can also be exported separately and will also result into an .FP

file. It is good practice to mention the type of element you exported in the name because Color Kit

does not distinguish between different types of .FP files when importing. e.g.

this_is_a_color_strategy.fp
