Patent ID: RE42746

Claim:
A system for determining a coordinate set for visual depiction onto a computer monitor of a process color having at least one spot color applied to it, said system comprising: means for defining the process color into process color components and percentage values; means for defining the at least one spot color into spot color components and percentage values; means for converting said process color components and their percentage values into a coordinate set values for visual depiction; means for determining said coordinate set values of said at least one spot color components; means for applying percentages to said coordinate set of values of said at least one spot color components according to said percentage values for said at least one spot color components; means for determining a value for said percentages of said at least one spot color components layered onto said coordinate set of values converted from said process color components; and means for converting said determined value for said percentages of said at least one spot color components layered onto said coordinate set of values converted from said process color components into said coordinate set.
