General
Improved user interface for more efficient test chart creation The Custom Chart window has been redesigned to provide a clearer and more streamlined workflow. The workflow now starts by selecting the intended use of the chart from a drop-down menu formerly named “Mode”. The list of options in this menu has been trimmed down and some of the options that were present in ColorAnt 10 and older have been removed and merged into a single option. This provides a better overview and a more efficient test chart creation workflow. New Complementary Mini Chart optionThe Custom Chart tool creates different types of test charts for a variety of requirements. Instead of seven modes, the condensed list now offers the same functionality in just five modes:  Create Profile: The new Create Profile option is a combination of the previously available Profiling and Flexo Profiling modes. It provides the functions of these two modes in a single place by including the new checkbox Flexo Profiling, which adds the additional Flexo-specific patches to test charts when activated.  Update Profile: This mode has not been changed. As before, it generates test charts with a minimum number of patches that can be used in combination with the Update Profile or Iteration tools in CoPrA.  Linearization: The new Linearization mode is a combination of the previous modes Linearization, Linearization and InkSplitting and Linearization and G7 Patches. It offers all the functions of these three modes in a single place by including two new checkboxes InkSplitting and Add G7 Patches, which add the relevant patches when activated.  Spot Color Library: This option is now a combination of the Color Space “Spot color library” and the previous mode CxF/X-4 Wedge. It contains all the functions of the former Spot Color Library dialog, but also the new Add overprint on black option. After activating this checkbox, the drop-down menu Number of patches on black becomes available, which allows the selection of the required number of overprint patches. Note: The Spot format will be automatically exported as CxF/X-4 if spectral data is available and CXF is selected for saving.  Reference File: Loaded reference files (which were listed at the end of the Color Space drop-down menu in previous versions), are now listed in a dedicated Reference file drop-down menu below Color Space. The new Mini Chart option is intended to complement profiling with spot colors via Edit Primaries, as there are more secondaries included in the chart. Edit Primaries Complementary Mini Charts include gradients for the primaries and 2-color overprints for the 50% and 100% combinations:  New option to adjust the Density of primary colors Density changes can now be applied directly to the primary colors in the Edit Primaries tool. This allows density changes to be evaluated without having to print a new profiling chart, for example in Flexo printing when a new anilox roll is to be used for a primary color, or in Offset printing if the density of an ink is to be increased or decreased. If the density of primary colors changes, corresponding Lab values are calculated and applied by the Edit Primaries tool. This is based on the spectral information of the primaries. Hence the density option is only available for a loaded test chart with spectral measurement data. More precise Adopt Secondaries functionalityTo do so, click on the Pencil icon to open the Edit Primary dialog.  The value under Density indicates the current density taken from the measurement data. Enter the new density value and click on the triangular Arrow to apply the changes.  The Lab values are automatically calculated and displayed immediately. Clicking on OK accepts these values and closes the window. The calculation can be aborted by clicking Cancel or reverted by clicking the Undo arrow to restore the original values. The Adopt Secondaries function in the Edit Primaries tool has been revised and enhanced. As before, the checkbox is only available if secondary colors are present for at least two of the selected colors of a measurement file. At least one 100/100 color patch for the selected color must be present for the checkbox to be activated. In addition, other two-color combinations are now considered as well (this can be any combination, such as 50/50 or 30/70 or 80/60 or any other combination of secondary colors). Tone ValueThe Lab values (or spectral values, if available) are then retrieved from the measurement file and entered into the spectral model. By supporting any existing printed secondary combination besides 100/100, the calculations are more precise. Note: If a file contains the 50/50 patch but not the 100/100 patch, the file does have a secondary patch indeed, but the model still requires the 100/100 key point to function correctly. Support for the Hybrid RIP curve format Compensation curves can now be saved in the “*.cfcurve” format. This JSON-based format is compatible with Hybrid CLOUDFLOW, allowing the compensation curves to be imported into this application. TVI curves can now be adjusted to match the ISO 12647-2 offset printing standard The tone value curves can be calculated to comply with the requirements of the BVDM ISO 12647-2 offset printing standards from 2004 or 2013. Main WindowThe two new options have been added to the Correction according to TVI targets drop-down menu of the Tone Value tool.  More flexibility when working with spot colors and spot color libraries The context menu now offers three new options under Merging and Conversion regarding the handling of spot colors and spot color libraries. Redesigned Preferences dialog Spot Color Library to DCS: Converts files containing spot colors and up to 15 channels into the corresponding Device Color Space. Create Charts from Spot Colors: Splits the entire library into individual charts for each color. Merge Charts to a Spot Color Library: Combines several compatible charts into one spot color library. The redesigned Preferences dialog now offers the new option Custom Directories to select custom Report, Chart and Profile directories. The custom Profile Directory defined here is an additional directory alongside the system profile directory. Measure Tool Support for measurement device Barbieri Spectro Swing qb The Barbieri Spectro Swing qb is now supported by the Measure Tool. General The device can be connected via USB or Ethernet. It is recommended to use the Ethernet connection as it provides higher transmission speeds. More comprehensive support for CIE files There are now fewer restrictions when importing measurement data from different providers. For example, some CIE files that could not be handled by previous versions can now be imported and opened. Improved exchange of spot color libraries between ColorAnt and ZePrAOpacity information can now be saved in both CxF and CGATS file formats. This allows spot color libraries from ZePrA, which may contain custom opacity values for the colors, to be edited in ColorAnt, e.g., smoothing or tone value corrections, and then transferred back to ZePrA without losing the opacity information. Easy creation of custom data files using Excel spreadsheetsIn addition, spot color libraries can now be created easily and quickly using ColorAnt’s new Spot Color Library feature in the Custom Chart tool, exported as a CxF/X-4 file and loaded into ZePrA. Custom data files can now easily be created using an Excel spreadsheet template which can be downloaded here. The position and size of the windows are now remembered The template file offers several different pages for a wide variety of data and allows for custom spot color libraries to be easily imported into ColorAnt for chart creation in a simple editable format. Select the sheet that matches the data, modify the sample data and export this page as a CSV file. The resulting file can then be imported into ColorAnt. The position and size of the windows are now saved and restored after a restart, which is a practical feature especially for multi-monitor setups.
