AI script for building out a pantone book for use with print/rip system spot color output matching.
- It is critical that you do not change any of the group or layer structuring for this to work.
- When you run the script it will appear as if AI has frozen, just wait it out. It is CPU intensive and single threaded.
- The guide lines are cut lines. I had a book cut on a laser so i could assemble it like a normal pantone book.(optional)
- The colors are layed out in the same order as the pantone books, although page numbers won't quite match their index.
- Copy script to your AI scripts directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Presets\en_US\Scripts)
- Open Illustrator and open the template file. Replace the logo with your own logo or title.
- Type in the printer name and media name into the bottom of the page.
- Run the script!
- Adjust things freely to fit media as needed. Get rid of the extra labels on the pages that don't get filled etc...
- Print & Color match!
