Swatch Format

These are the swatch sets available for the selected ink configuration and color device combination. It is important that the appropriate swatch set be selected. Onyx recommends using the [Ultra Accuracy] swatch set.

NOTE: If your printer uses an ink configuration with extended channels (Ex: Red, Green Orange, Blue) select the swatch set name that includes these additional channels.

Scramble Swatch

Enable this option to randomly place the individual colors on the swatch. If this is not enabled each color will be printed as a gradient on the swatch When using a high ink limit these gradients may become difficult to read. Using [Scramble Swatch] will eliminate similarly colored patches being placed together.
