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 1):
A digital watermark embedding method comprising:\n obtaining data associated with a spot color S a , the spot color S a  comprising a component of a color design; using one or more configured processors, determining a screen S s  of the spot color S a ; selecting a substitute spot color candidate S b1  by: i) evaluating color distance or color error between the substitute spot color candidate S b1  and the screen S s , and ii) evaluating brightness of the substitute spot color candidate S b1  and the screen S s ; using one or more configured processors, determining a Cyan (C), Magenta (M) and Yellow (Y) process color tint that when combined with the substitute spot color candidate S b1  approximates the spot color S a ; transforming a determined CMY process color tint with a digital watermark signal to embed the digital watermark signal in the CMY process color tint, said transforming yielding a watermarked CMY process color tint; and combining the watermarked CMY process color tint and the substitute spot color candidate S b1 , said combining yielding a digital watermarked substitute spot color.
