Spot Color Libraries

In GMG OpenColor, a spot color library serves as a collection of all spot colors that might be printed on the specified media type and under the specified printing condition.

Spot color libraries are marked with a spot color icon (1). The info pane on the right will show more information on the selected spot color library such as the total number of colors (2) in the library. You can double-click to open one of your own libraries. Preinstalled GMG spot color libraries are read-only and cannot be opened. However, you can duplicate a library and then open it to adjust it to your needs.

You can browse and search the library (1). You can double-click a spot color item (2) to edit the target value or the target gradation. You can add as many spot colors to the library as you need by importing measurements (3) or by measuring from the print product or color strip (4).
