Color Mapping: Sequential option
The color mapping tool has 2 various option to apply the mappings set, either Sequential or not.
Option available from V2026.1.1
To explain sequential and non-sequential spot mapping, we use the hypothetical example below.
100% Cyan patch and 100% Yellow patch, which we will map as follows:
- 100% Cyan is to become 100% Yellow
- 100% Yellow is to become 100% Black
Non-sequenti​al mapping
Non-sequential mapping means that each color will be mapped independently with no relation to each other.
Result is :
C -> Y
Y -> K
Sequential mapping
If sequential is enabled, the first mapping is applied, and each subsequent mapping builds upon the result of the previous step.
Enable Sequential -> Click Save -> overwrite the default.colormap => Submit the job.
In our example: they will both come Black
| 1st mapping | 2nd mapping |
C -> Y Y -> Y | Y-> K Y -> K |
