Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to encoding signals for spot colors. In one implementation a substitute spot color+CMY tint is selected to replace an original spot color. The CMY tint can be transformed to carry an encoded signal. Of course, other features, combinations and technology are described herein.

Claim (Index 16):
An image signal processing method comprising:\n obtaining data associated with a first spot color S a , the first spot color S a  comprising a component of a color design; determining a plurality of spot color candidates S b1 \u2212S bi , where i is an integer, by evaluating\u2014for each spot color candidate\u2014color distance metrics between data associated with the spot color candidate and the data associated with the first spot color S a ; determining a Cyan (C), Magenta (M) and Yellow (Y) tint for each of the plurality of spot color candidates S b1 \u2212S b1 ; using one or more electronic processors, simulating an overprint of each of the plurality of spot color candidates S b1 \u2212S bi  with its respective CMY tint, and for each of the overprinted spot color candidates, generating an Lab or Chroma distance metric relative to the first spot color S a ; based on generated distance metrics, determining final spot color candidates; for at least one of the final spot color candidates, and using one or more electronic processors, transforming its respective CMY tint with an encoded signal; and using the at least one of the final spot color candidates plus its transformed CMY tint instead of the first spot color S a  in the color design.
