Pantone-Approved Fiery Servers Provide State-of-the-Art PANTONE Colors
Pantone-approved Fiery servers automate the color process from job submission to output. This automation eliminates guesswork and
costly rework by controlling how colors will print.
Using Spot-On on your Fiery server takes the guesswork out of color matching via an intuitive interface that makes it fast and easy to
define or modify spot colors, eliminating the time-consuming task of looking up CMYK tint values. Spot-On reduces the potential for error
by allowing users to create libraries of custom colors for reuse later and to accurately map substitutions between applications that use
CMYK and RGB color spaces to define spot colors.
The built-in color lookup tables in the Fiery system automatically convert the PANTONE color to optimized CMYK values based on the
output printer profile. Operators can use the Spot-On Spot Color Search to further fine-tune the output of any PANTONE color.
