The spot color definitions loaded in ORIS CxF Toolbox can be exported as Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) files and then imported into the swatch palette of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign or Photoshop. This allows designers to use colorimetric brand colors for their artwork. Before printing the final PDF/X files it is important to reassign the CxF/X-4 data to the spot colors using ORIS CxF Toolbox.

Use the ORIS CxF Designer plug-in to import CxF/X-4-defined spot colors into the swatch palette of Adobe Illustrator. This allows designers to use colorimetric brand colors for their artwork. ORIS CxF Designer automatically exports the full CxF/X-4 metadata to the PDF/X file when the final artwork is saved in this format. The file is then immediately ready for print.
