CYMK- can also be referred to as the process colours.
White box is the pre set swatches, to fill colour.
another way of choosing colour basically, is the top right icon, gives certain percentages,etc.
which one of these method allows you to consistently apply colour, the swatches palette is the quickest way, like a library of colours.
swatches pallete
clear all swatches when u start making your own
swatches menu, allows you to delete all unused swatches
registration, is the across hair, its a purer richer colour(black) This is used just for text, used for print marks only, not in the art work.
colour palette menu to create new swatch, after using slider to choose the colour. the swatch name will be its percentage components.
quick and essayist way is by using the menu in the swatch bar.
add used colours, is a good way of getting swatches, if you are using previous illustrator files etc, i.e. a client has sent you a logo.
some of the swatches have this box next to them, this means if you double click on it they will have an icon saying global checked.
the term global means will effect everything. this means that any shape with a global icon ticked colour, will change.
adding tints on the colour palette of your swatches. These tints will be added to the colour palette.
example of tints.
the second part of the session is going to be working with spot colours. a spot colour is a single colour. its a colour that is applied using its own printing plate. a ready mixed ink would be a spot colour. inks, that cant be made up for cmyk,would be a spot colour. i.e. gold. cost is a major consideration also. cost in terms of plate preparation. spot colours are also used when using corporate colours, ie. heinz baked beans or shell. brand id. swatch books the colours are examples of swatch colours, different paper types, metallic colours, are all in separate booklets. how doe we access these pantones in illustrator.
coated and uncoated on the pantone library, effects the paper stock you print onto.
to quickly access a pantone, go menu, show find field then type in pantone number.
if you use spot colours, the only way to get a proof, is to use the commercial print process.
tints can also be used on spot colours.
once you have set up a palette, in your swatches. you can save your palette and re use, useful if you have same client over time etc.
this option is located here, swatch menu bar, and save ai.
you can also use the save as ase format, this means you can transfer the palette between programmes.
to acess your swatch library(saves) you the go on the same menu, and the go to open swatch library, and either go on user define or other libraries, and the bottom.
to access separations, at commercial print.
