Gamut Check

A Gamut Check allows you to check if colors are inside or outside the gamut of a given profile (which can be a 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7-color profile).

  1. Choose the ink book to check in the Check Inkbook list.
  2. Choose to check it against a Color Strategy or a Profile, and select that Color Strategy or Profile.
    Note: For color strategies, you will find an extra option in the Check Inkbook list: Source Process Inks. It allows you to do a quick check on your process ink solids, to see if they are in gamut.
  3. If needed, select a Rendering Intent, a Gamut Mapping method and a Delta E Formula.
  4. Click Check.




The example above shows how PANTONE colors will be simulated.

For every PANTONE, the Gamut Check window tells you:

Double-click an ink to compare the Lab and LCH values of the original and the converted ink, and to see the difference visually.





Based on this you may decide to change a color strategy's rendering intent, or to use custom values for this ink.
