Abstract:
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for printing a spot color proof are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving a request to print a print job, determining one or more spot colors in the print job, translating the one or more spot colors into a respective color value of a color model used by a printer that is selected to print the print job, generating the spot color proof that includes a patch of each one of the one or more spot colors printed in the respective color value and the respective color value, and printing the spot color proof.
Abstract:
According to exemplary methods herein, a print job comprising an electronic document and job attributes including an imposition template is received into a marking device having a print engine using a standard color gamut and another colorant. A sheet of the job is analyzed for the standard color gamut and for the other colorant. The layout of images for multiple pages of the electronic document on the sheet is determined and the number of passes of the sheet through the print engine is determined based on image requirements for each page on the sheet. User selectable instructions modify the printing instructions for selected pages on the sheet. The user selectable instructions include parameters associated with the number of passes of the sheet through the print engine and the use of the standard color gamut and the other colorant in the images for printing each of the pages on a substrate.
Abstract:
According to exemplary methods, a print job is received into a computerized device. The computerized device includes a marking device having a programmed color space. The print job includes an electronic document and print job attributes with a spot color for use in rendering the print job. Raster processing of the electronic document is performed. An object in the electronic document involving the spot color is identified. Definition of the spot color is verified for the marking device. Responsive to the spot color not being defined for the marking device, color values for each pixel in the object are modified to zero. Overprint is enabled for the object so that underlying objects will show through.
