Define a spot color library

What are spot color libraries

The printer provides predefined spot color libraries, such as PANTONE libraries and HKS libraries.

The Settings Editor can store three types of spot color libraries:

• Predefined spot color libraries

• Custom spot color libraries

• Imported spot color libraries (named color profiles).
