Convert special inks

Here you can decide how special inks are converted. The general rule how inks should be converted,

is set under 'conversion values’:

Depending on the number of output inks (3,4, 6 or 7) the list of conversion methods will change.

For CMYK output there are several ways to convert Pantone colors:

1. Use destination profile: with this option, Pantone inks will be converted to CMYK using the Use

destination profile. It takes into account the proofer CMYK color space. This option is the most

accurate if you have measured a profile of your proofer.

2. Pantone CMYK: With this option Pantones will be converted to CMYK according to the Pantone

table (SWOP and EURO).

3. HP Indigo CMYK 1.0: with this option Pantones will be converted to CMYK according to the HP

Indigo CMYK 1.0 table. Remember that using this option causes the Pantone

or spot inks not to

be converted anymore with the profile, but a fixed table is used. Investing work in the creation of a

profile and then choosing this option is contradictory. This option is used for the standard color

strategy HPI-CMYKW106use of custom2

For 6 color output (HP IndiChrome. Or with any 6 color Esko profile), there are two ways to convert

Spot colors to 6 output colors:

• Use destination profile: with this option, Pantone inks will be converted to CMYKOG or CMYKOV

using the destination profile . It takes into account the output color space. This option is the most

accurate if you have measured a profile of your proofer.

• Pantone HexaChrome: (only if a HexaChrome profile is selected) with this option Pantones will be

converted to CMYKOG according to the Pantone table. We do not recommend to use this
