and the Color Library will automatically open and will be ready for printing.

The print of the Color Library needs to be done always with the same specific color profile.

Tracing back the desired color swatch After having prepared the WhiteRIP Color Library, in order to trace back the desired color Swatch, you will need to compare it with the color you need to reproduce. To identify the code, you will need to find the column and row, like in the following example.

Once done, you should have the exact values to identify the color in your Library, from which you will be able to extract the correct RGB values. In the example above, the code of the color we needed is CL03L11.
