Inks/Characterizations

The project inks provide flexibility in profiling without changing the underlying characterization. This way, you can create various profiles in one project.

The print order (1) reflects the sequence in which the inks are printed in the printing machine and should not be changed if overprint information is involved and required (see "Changing the Ink Sequence"). The Usage of the inks (2) determines how much overprint information and how many fulcrums are used to generate a profile.

The ink list provides you with an overview on the overprint information (3) contained in the selected characterization. Each check mark represents overprint information of two inks. In our example, you can see that there is overprint information for each ink combination.
