5th Color

When customer supplies files to print vendor as a PDF. How does one determine what the 5th color is in PDF?. Or should Supplier send Native Indesign files?

Spot colors need to be properly created, managed and applied to all appropriate elements within the document and associated graphics. You can verify spot colors by viewing Separation Preview, which can be done in either Indesign or Acrobat. If you are unable to apply spot to all necessary elements, then you would need to talk to your print provider about supplying a packaged file containing native doc with all graphics and all fonts. Your print provider may have additional charges associated with working with native docs and fixing problems.

More than 4 different background row colors with a report template?

Hi,
I have 4 different cases showing the report rows in 4 corresponding different background-colors. It is working fine, but now I have a 5th case with a 5th color but the template fields are limited to 4 entries...
Any idea for a workaround?
Thanks Juergen

Hi,
If your are on Apex 4 and report is not huge, you could try go to some js solution with jQuery.
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=40323:74
I did report
select empno,ename,sal,
case
when sal < 850 then 'red'
when sal between 850 and 999 then 'purple'
when sal between 1000 and 1499 then 'green'
when sal between 1500 and 2000 then 'blue'
when sal > 2000 then 'yellow'
end the_color
from empThen I did set the_color column
Show Column: "No"
Display As: "Text Filed"
I did dynamic action
Advanced
Event: "After refresh"
Selection Type: "Region"
Region: "My Region"
Action: "Execute JavaScript Code"
Code:
$('input[name="f01"]').each(function(){
if(this.value){
$(this).parents('tr:eq(0)').css('background-color',this.value)
})Or totally custom report like in here
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=40323:12
Then you have totally control of HTML tags. Of course it is custom and more coding.

Color matching in Illustrator with CMYK

     This is a technical question about the best practice to follow when trying to match a color with Illustrator. A short description of what I'm trying to do is in order. I have a digital printer which uses an Epson 2880 print head and driver. I have not loaded the PPD drivers yet. I'm using Illustrator CS5. My task is to match Reflex Blue, namely Pantone Reflex Blue.
     First thing I noticed is Reflex Blue is an base color and not made up by a formula in my matching guide. Next issue is, this color has to be created by a formula (Mix) of CMYK. I have resisted changing any of the print driver settings and have focused solely on Illustrator. This may be the wrong approach, but I did not want to have 2 different settings adjustments going at the same time.
     My question is, provided that the printer and it's related drivers are set, what settings would be the first place to start, when attempting to"dial in" an specific color.
     I have worked with Illustrator for years in the printing industry, but I rarely have had to match an color coming out of the printer. I just used them for proofs, and always stated that the colors are not exact. Now I have a direct to print situation and I have to hit the color. Fun! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First thing I noticed is Reflex Blue is an base color and not made up by a formula in my matching guide.
The Pantone Solid-To-Process library is provided in CS5 through the Swathes palette flyout menu. That Library suggests 100c73m0y2k. for Reflex Blue.
…this color has to be…CMYK. I have resisted changing any of the print driver settings…I did not want to have 2 different settings adjustments going at the same time.…provided that the printer and it's related drivers are set, what settings would be the first place to start…
It is not clear from your description whether you are printing a document with only a Pantone Reflex Blue separation or if Reflex Blue is just one separation in a document that contains other spot or process separations.
I will assume the typical process-plus-one-spot situation. Suppose you are building full-color process documents (sheetfed brochure, for example). The client's identity standards specify Pantone Reflex Blue as its logo color, and the client is willing for the press job to include the cost of adding a 5th color.
You wouldn't want to alter the color calibration settings (if any) in your workflow just to make your composite draft match the spot color more accurately. Doing that would, of course, throw off the colors of everything else in the document. So a document-level or printer-level setting just to match a particular spot color is silly.
Always bear in mind: Color separation is all about inks, not colors.
By definition, a spot color is just a grayscale image that gets sent to its own separation. The RIP which prints the color separations doesn't care one whit how the spot color looks on your monitor, or how it prints on a composite color device. You can easily create a spot color Swatch and color it and name it any way you want. So long as it's a spot color Swatch, and so long as it's named "Reflex Blue," the RIP is going to print it to an individual color separation plate labeled "Reflex Blue" even if it looks orange on screen and on your composite printer.
So there's nothing constraining you to the default color values that the various provided Color Books use to display (and composite print) their swatches. Just create your own spot color swatch and name it "Reflex Blue." Define the color mix of that Swatch to achieve whatever looks most "right" to you when printed to your composite printer.
How do you determine that mix? You just spend a few minutes to set up a simple swatch test sheet. Using your Reflex Blue as the example:
1. Create a new Illustrator document using the same color settings that you will for the final press-ready file.
2. In that document, set up a horizontal Artboard sized to the maximum sheet size of your composite printer. Draw a small rectangle in the upper left corner.
3. Fill this rectangle with the color mix shown in the upper left of the screenshot below (100c50m0k). Why? Because the default mix of the Pantone Solid To Process swatch is 100c73m0y2k. 50% is well below the M component, and 0% is, well, no K.
4. AltShiftDrag a copy of that rectangle to the upper right corner of the Artboard. Fill this rectangle with the color mix shown in the upper right of the screenshot below (100c80m0k). Why? Because 80% is enough above the default 73% M.
5. AltShiftDrag a copy of both of the rectangles downward to the bottom corners of the Artboard. Change the K component of both of those to 10%. Leave the other components unchanged.
6. Select the two top rectangles. Create a Blend using Specified Steps: 29. This results in an array of rectangles which increase in M values from left to right in 1% increments.
7. Similarly Blend the bottom two rectangles.
8. Expand and Ungroup both Blends.
9. Select the top left and bottom left rectangles. Create a Blend using Specified Steps: 9. This results in a vertical array of rectangles which increase in K values from top to bottom in 1% increments.
10. Repeat step 9 for each corresponding pair of top and bottom rectangles.
11. Now you have a rectangular array of test swatches. The rectangles increase in M horizontally, and increase in K vertically. Print this to your desktop composite printer.
12. Compare the print to a Reflex Blue color chip. Note the printed rectangle that makes the best approximation.
13. In the Illustrator file, find that rectangle. Define a spot color Swatch using the process mix of that rectangle. Name the Swatch "Reflex Blue" and standardize on that swatch for any project which involves Reflex Blue and which will be printed on your composite printer.
I just used them for proofs, and always stated that the colors are not exact.
Be prepared for the hard, cold reality of process printing. The above described procedure is certainly worthwhile. But you are not going to achieve a dead-ringer match to Reflex Blue or to many other standardized spot color inks (or vinyls, or paints, or dyes…). That's the ugly truth about CMYK process. Despite common misconception, process color is a "full color" methodology, but it is not capable of reproducing every color on earth. Far from it.
So you will still end up saying to your customer, "This is just an approximation of your spot color."

How to create seperate color channel for print of illustrator document

Hi,
I need to print a document with partial UV-spots, and cannot figure out how to make my Illustrator document ready for print!
The online print center guides me to:
create a 'seperate print channel' for the specific elements in my document i want covered, with either a '5th color or a special color' set for 'over-print and 100% color'.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

Draw the spots you want to use and fill them with a spot color.

Digimarc for prints also?

I've created artwork in Illustrator that I will be selling. What is there to stop people from photocopying it and framing themselves.
All the watermark info I see is to web image copying/downloading. Is there anything for paper something like U.S. currency has?
Thanks!!!
esther
Or even a certain kind of paper???

Yes, there are specialty papers available that you could use which have their own watermarks. But, you might consider going a step further by adding an embossing and/or foil stamp that would have to be replicated at a considerable expense in order to try to copy your artwork. Copies are sometimes easy to identify by their look and feel. For instance, if you emboss or stamp your name or some symbol, then an authentic piece you'd be able to feel it and, in the case of a foil stamp, see it. Any "5th color" treatment will work because a copier cannot easily replicate it, especially a gold, bronze, or silver foil stamp.

Could you trade in your iPod 5th gem for another 5th gen iPod but a different color

My iPod Touch (5th generation) is not responding to my touch. There are also several colored lines in the background of my screen. Virus?

Since my iPod isn't responding to my touch, I can't switch it off or restart it as I normally would. I've tried doing the hold-down-the-sleep-button-and-the-home-button-for-ten-seconds thing but when the Apple logo appears, it's either completely pink in color or there are these vertical colored lines in the background. When the lock screen reappears, sometimes it looks completely normal (but it still doesn't respond), or everything's blurred, or there are these weird colours in the background, or those lines I mentioned before, but most of the times, it's completely dark and I can onlu see this moving flash at the bottom of the screen (indicating the presence of the slide to unlock thing).
My computer was recently reformatted because it had had a virus, so I'm worried my iPod has gotten the virus too. I have some data on there that I really can't lose. (I haven't backed up this data because my computer had been on the fritz for the past two weeks).
Is taking it to an Apple Help Centre the only cure? (I purchased the item in March 2013; Is there any chance I can get it replaced for free?) I tried moving the photos from the device to my PC but it says there are no photos in my device. (I've moved my photos before when I'd forgotten my password and was about to reset it.)
I would really like some advice ASAP because if it is a virus, the longer I keep it untouched, the more havoc it causes. i fear.

I do not think talking to Apple will do more than the following:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod 5th gen has been acting up. Its been shutting off at random times and appears to be glitching out. The screen would go different colors and when it would turn back on my recent texts and stuff would be deleted.

My iPod 5th gen has been doing this for awhile, though it progressively got better over time, it still happens occasionally like when I'm out running. My iPod is never able to connect strongly to any WiFi network. All the WiFi networks keep disappearing and then coming back, and this is infuriating because it wont let me sign in to iTunes or IMessage at all or update my iPod easily. My date and time keeps getting off track and every time i set it back to normal it just gets messed up again. Now it wont let me connect to iTunes and receive push notifications. I tried logging out o my Apple ID on my phone but now it wont let me sign back in. WHAT IS GOING ON HELP PLEASE!?!?!

I have a 5th generation IPod touch, and today when i turned it on everything was fine. Then suddenly the screen froze and changed colors and lines started coming from the sides of the Ipod until the reached the middle. Now it won't turn back on.

I tried restarting it by using just the power on button at first. Once that failed I held the power and home buttom for ten sconds and that didn't work. I then plugged in the ipod to see if it needed charged, and repeated the same two steps at before but to no avail. Finally, I opened up itunes and plugged my ipod in, but nothing came up. I then tried to turn it on for a third time, but nothing happened. I just confused on what happened. Could it be a bad display, or did the whole thing just die on me? Help please.

Can I exchange my engraved IPod 5th generation for a diferent color?

I just got a new iPod for Christmas and its silver with engraving I really want blue and I haven't even used it yet can I exchange it for a blue one?

I know for a fact that the local Apple Store here considers anything engraved to be non-exchangable.
It has nothing to do with what you want to exchange it for. It is the fact that you have an engraved device and they don't want it.
