Next, determine what Step Size you want to apply to the Color
Finder palette. This is simply a question of how much you want
your Start Color to fluctuate. If your Start Color is close the color
you are looking for, use a low Step Size (i.e. 5 or less). However,
if your start color is not close to what you are looking for, use a
higher Step Size. You can enter any Step Size value between 1
and 40.
▬ As an example, let’s say your Start Color is C:20, M:100, Y:150,
K:0 and you select Cyan and Magenta to be your Step Colors.
You also enter a Step Size of 10. When you click the ‘Print
Colors’ button, your Start Color will be in the middle of the Color
Finder palette and from there each color will vary the Cyan and
Magenta values by 10.
When you are finished selecting the Start Color, Step Colors, and
the Step Size, click on the Print Colors button. This will print your
custom Color Finder palette directly to your printer.
After printing the Color Finder palette, transfer it to your selected
substrate and then try to match your desired color to one that is on
the palette. If you find a suitable match, you are finished using the
Color Finder tool. Move on to the next section - The Custom
Palette.
If you couldn’t find an accurate match on the first printed Color
Finder palette, don’t worry. Follow the easy steps below, and you
can find a more suitable custom color.
1. First, try to locate a new Start Color from the palette that is closer
than the original color.
2. Now write down that color’s CMYK value. Here is how to obtain
this value. There are numbers under each color that are
dependant upon which Step Colors you chose. For example, it
might say C:70 M:120. Take note of these values. Then, at the
bottom left of the Color Finder palette you will see a full set of
CMYK values. The new Start Color’s CMYK value would be
C:70, M:120 and whatever the YK values are from the full set.
3. Lastly, plug the CMYK values for the new Start Color into the
boxes in Color Finder, choose your Step Size, and click on Print
Colors once again. Continue with steps 1-3 until you find your
desired color.
