The color charts to use?

Hello

I need to make a quick run of 100 prints to a local print shop where they'll be printing on a digital printer. I guess the digital printing process still uses CMYK and I wonder what, if any, swatches of color should I use to set my colors in Indesign.

Should I just use a library without covering (the prints are going on Matt paper), or should I just mix them myself? It is not extremely important that I get a 100% color accuracy (it is a digital printer, after all).

Thank you

Hey Rick,.

I don't know yet what color space the printer uses. I have the impression that they use the CMYK toner. With respect to the PDF document, Yes, I will provide the PDF file myself.

There is great debate on setup of swatch. I will explain the new mode that is more progressive...

I don't know what you mean by Matt and uncoated. These are two different things. Find out which stock corresponds to your job. He has no sex and mast mast is a coated sheet but the coating is not bright.

Select your color by choosing an ID number in the appropriate library (color mode), not coated solid or solid Matte. Once the color sample appears in the dialog box, change the mode in the laboratory and color type to deal with.

Output PDF - if they want RGB output convert to destination, document RGB, include all profiles. There is another option, convert to destination (preserve numbers). If you export the document RGB, which makes no difference.

Conversion CMYK-exit to destination, CMYK printers, include all profiles.

There may be others who say you can create nuances differently. It's a recurring problem. The steps above are very brief explanations, and it can become more complicated. Don't forget laboratory samples are progressive. I can give you the more traditional approach if you wish.

    Open a raster file is mainly the reason why there is no nuance in a file.

    If you want to have shades in a file from the beginning: you must create a new file and then place the raster in her file.

    But you can also simply load or create samples later.

  • Cannot drag and drop a pattern to the color chart

    I have a PC with Windows 10 so maybe that's part of the problem.

    I've been working with a very detailed model and using the function drag / move in the color chart with no problems.  Then all of a sudden it stopped working.  Any thoughts?  I can drag and drop other items in, but not this model more.  Any thoughts?

    Try and select the object complete, then object > model > done. This can generate a more descriptive error message. Will there be a clipping mask in your work?

  • the color chart "load" command does not in InDesign 2014 and 2015

    The "load the color chart" command in the Panel color chart does not in InDesign 2014 and 2015. Cannot click the Pantone or any other collection, they are all faded.  I have already trashed the Preferences folder and restarted ID and Mac. It started only once I have updated to the latest version of CC, but now it affects 2014 and 2015.  Don't know what to do, I don't like reinstalling one or the other.  Tried to go back to the CS6.  All solutions anyone?  Thank you!

    Color chart of load control is for loading samples from other documents or a swatch file.

    Use the new swatch command to add a color.

    I think you misunderstand load swatches command.

    .Acb files that appear dimmed are books of color and they are already installed. Instead of load swatches, use new shade of color, you can choose a book of color in the color Mode menu:

    Color chart of charge is used to load a set of shades from a .ase file saved from an Adobe application or other document of identity.

  • CS3 - is to remove the colors are not used in documents in a book

    Hello, I have a big problem...

    I have a book composed of about 120 documents Indesign InDesign.

    My question: did you know that a script that can delete the unused nuances in all the documents making up a book rather than document by document (120 documents) by the color chart menu.

    Thank you

    Not a requirement that I met earlier, but it seems too hard.

    for (var i = 0; i)
    {
    var currentDoc = app.open (app.books [0] .bookContents [i] .fullName, true);
    for (var j = currentDoc.unusedSwatches.length; j > 0; j-)
    currentDoc.unusedSwatches [j - 1] .remove ();
    currentDoc.close (SaveOptions.YES);

    }

    This script assumes that you have your one (and only one!) Book to the screen. It opens all documents in a book, removes the nuances and it closes.

    There has always been disagreements about what makes a "unused" shade, and I guess that it works the same as it does in the UI - it removes what is possible and leave the rest.

  • By default the color chart - can they be changed?

    The vast majority of my work in InDesign requires that I have colors of our company responsible as swatches to select various elements. I did a file .ase containing only these colors. What I would really like to do now is to include it in my color chart by default so that new document I create will already have them loaded, instead of having to load them separately.

    Is this possible? If so, how should I do this?

    I use the ID CS6 v8.0.2 on a Win7 sp1 machine.

    Thank you!

    Load them without opening the files. All future files you create will get them.

    Hello

    I copied the code and tried again, but it does not work because "Tone" was cut out by the SPACE such as 'T int' when I pasted here.

    I pasted the code again, but it will be added SPACE between 't' and 'int '. ??? Sorry, please delete SPACE and try again.

    {if (myDocument.Swatches.Item (i) .getElements () [0] .constructor.)} (Name==='Tint')}

    It works for me on OSX 10.6.4 + InDesign CS3, CS4.

  • How the color of text using CSS instead of font tags? [was: W3C Validator]

    Hi, I was hoping that someone could help me with a little problem I have with how I control the color in some of my text, the validator tells me to use CSS but tell me how, any help would be nice. Thanks, Jeff

    ErrorLine 59, column 102: are the item is obsolete. Use CSS instead.

    … <sup>per m&sup2;</sup></s>   <font color="red">Now only &pound;15.49

    https://www.qualitycarpets.NET/jAlbums-carpet-Saxony/Saxon-King-Saxony.php

    There are countless tutorials online covering it, and there are several ways to do this via CSS

    for example http://webdesign.about.com/od/css/a/aa051801a.htm

    A simple option using inline CSS:

    or, if the Red is semantically significant (i.e. significant),.

    CSS

    em {color: #f00 ;} }

    HTML

    Alternatively, you can achieve the same results using built-in or external CSS.

  • Bug? Can change the color chart with the arrow keys?

    I used the option live paint and live paint bucket.  It's really handy change shade that I use by using the left and right arrow keys to change my swatch in the Swatch Palette.  But in CS6, if I do, and the next shade chosen is a percentage of shade of another color (for example, I have a shade of blue and a shade of blue 85%, which is the tinited Swatch blue to 85% in the color palette and then transformed to a saved shade), the 'selection' around the shade box disappears and I can change is no longer the choice of grade without clicking above.

    I can switch easily between shades that are not percentages of the original, without any problem.  CS5 and all earlier versions that had this feature had no problem whatsoever.

    Huh?

    The fixed.

    Removed preference files.  Works fine now.
