Convert a single mixed ink swatch to a process color
You can convert mixed inks to process colors to reduce printing costs. When you convert the parent of a mixed ink
group to process, the parent swatch disappears, and the other swatches in the mixed ink group are converted to process
colors.
1 Double-click the mixed ink swatch you want to convert.
2 For Color Type, select Process, and then click OK.
Convert all inks in a mixed ink group to process
❖ Double-click the parent of the mixed ink group, and select Convert Mixed Ink Swatches To Process in the dialog
box that appears.

Gradients
About gradients
A gradient is a graduated blend between two or more colors or between two tints of the same color. The output device
you use affects how gradients color separate.
Gradients can include Paper, process colors, spot colors, or mixed ink colors using any color mode. Gradients are
defined by a series of color stops in the gradient bar. A stop is the point at which a gradient changes from one color to
the next, and is identified by a color square under the gradient bar. By default, a gradient starts with two colors and a
midpoint at 50%.
Note: When you create a gradient using colors of different modes and then print or color separate the gradient, all colors
are converted to CMYK process colors. Because of the color mode change, colors may shift. For best results, specify gradients
using CMYK colors.
Create a gradient swatch
You can create, name, and edit gradients using the same Swatches panel you use to work with solid colors and tints. You
can also create unnamed gradients using the Gradient panel.
1 Choose New Gradient Swatch in the Swatches panel menu.
2 For Swatch Name, type a name for the gradient.
3 For Type, choose Linear or Radial.
4 Select the first color stop in the gradient.
