Separate spot colors as process
Using the Ink Manager, you can convert spot colors to process colors. When spot colors are converted to process
color equivalents, they are printed as separations rather than on a single plate. Converting a spot color is useful if
you’ve accidentally added a spot color to a process color document, or if the document contains more spot colors
than are practical to print.
1 In the Ink Manager, do one of the following:
• To separate individual spot colors, click the ink-type icon to the left of the spot color or aliased spot color. A
process color icon appears. To change the color back to spot, click the icon again.
• To separate all spot colors, select Convert All Spots To Process. The icons to the left of the spot colors change to
process color icons. To restore the spot colors, deselect Convert All Spots To Process.
