Quickly Measuring Colors with Similar Metadata
You may want to measure a series of spot colors which are printed on the same substrate. These colors share almost the same set of metadata and differ only in color name and one or two other properties. In this case using the bulk-edit mode is the quickest way of creating a CxF/X-4 file from the measurement data.
Read section Creating CxF/X-4 Data by Measurement for details which are not covered here such as configuring the measurement device and setting the measuring options.
- Click
on the left or 
at the bottom. - Click
and measure the first spot color.

to switch to bulk-edit mode.
- Specify the metadata which is identical for all spot colors, for example:

Substrate type (mandatory)
Print process

Comment (on file)
- If certain colors should not be included in the CxF/X-4 file, deselect them.
- Click
and save the selected color definitions.
Click 
and then 
if you want to open the file you have saved, or to import other files. Otherwise the File option and 
button will not become available.
