Ink Manager overview
The Ink Manager provides control over inks at output time. Changes you make using the Ink Manager affect the output, not how the colors are
defined in the document.
Ink Manager options are especially useful for print service providers. For example, if a process job includes a spot color, a service provider can
open the document and change the spot color to the equivalent CMYK process color. If a document contains two similar spot colors when only
one is required, or if the same spot color has two different names, a service provider can map the two to a single alias.
In a trapping workflow, the Ink Manager lets you set the ink density for controlling when trapping takes place, and it lets you set the correct number
and sequence of inks.
InDesign and Acrobat share the same Ink Manager technology. However, only InDesign has the Use Standard Lab Values For Spots
option.
