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 11):
An embedding system comprising:\n an input to receive color data; memory comprising data associated with a spot color S a , the spot color S a  comprising a component of a color design; one or more processors configured for: generating a screen S s  of the spot color S a ; means for evaluating substitute spot color candidates to select a substitute spot color candidate S b1  including: i) means for evaluating color distance or color error between the substitute spot color candidate S b1  and the screen S s , and ii) means for evaluating brightness of the substitute spot color candidate S b1  and the screen S s ; in which said one or more processors are configured for: determining a CMY process color tint that when combined with the substitute spot color candidate S b1  approximates the spot color S a ; means for embedding a digital watermark signal in the CMY process color tint, said means for embedding producing a digital watermarked CMY process color tint; and in which said one or more processors are configured for: merging the watermarked CMY process color tint and the substitute spot color candidate S b1 , the merging yielding a digital watermarked substitute spot color.
