Abstract
A system and method for automatic selection of at least one spot color to be processed by a digital image press includes identifying process colorants to determine principal and extended gamuts thereof. Spot color recipes of the principal and extended gamuts are retrieved from a spot color library, along with a set of attributes corresponding to use of colorants by the digital image press. For each spot color recipe, a combined attribute score is calculated relating to the principal gamut and the extended gamut, spot color recipe of the extended gamut or principal gamut is then identified for use based upon which has the higher combined attribute score. The spot color library is then updated in accordance with the identified recipe for production of each spot color. Print jobs are then output with the appropriate spot color recipe automatically selected.
