So if the job contains Cyan the mark needs to be Cyan.
If it does not contain Cyan but contains Magenta the mark needs to Magenta.
Otherwise it needs to be Black.
My thought was to have Pitstop Server report the ink usage to me.
Then use a script expression to analyse the XML-log.
But I am a bit unsure how to read the XML dataset in a script expression.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

The logic for choosing the color seems pretty straight forward.
Code: Select all
if (inkNames.includes("Cyan")) {
return "Cyan";
} else if (inkNames.includes("Magenta")) {
return "Magenta";
} else {
return "Black";
}
Code: Select all
