Required Color Set

Post by jcarden »

Hello!

I am trying to use the "Required Color Set" check to make sure a document contains a rich black mixture and two Pantone colors.

However, the check always flags the file because the Pantone colors use the LAB values instead of the CMYK values. Is there a way around converting the Pantone colors to the CMYK values before running this check?

There is a "Remap PANTONE library colors" which allows you to do just that.

Note that this means that the definition of the colors changes and that may have an effect on the output from the rip. It all depends on how the rip treats PANTONE colors. An alternative is to use "Select spot colors" and then "Log selection" with the option to log when no objects are selected.
