How to Create Multi Color Charts - Neostampa

This guide explains how to use the **Color Chart Tool** in NeoStampa to generate printed color charts. These charts are used as physical references and can be measured with a spectrophotometer to analyze how ink, profiles, and printer behavior affect color output. What Color Charts Are Used For

Creating a Multi-Color Chart

• Printed reference charts made of color patches
• Each patch represents a specific ink combination
• Used to evaluate:
• Color accuracy
• Profile performance
• Ink behavior under real printing conditions

1. Open **NeoStampa**.
2. Launch the **Color Chart Tool**.

1. Choose **Four Corner Variations**.
2. This option tests blended color transitions based on your printer profile.

1. Confirm the correct **printer profile** is selected.
2. Click to **apply the profile** for accurate results.

1. Select the colors you want to include.
2. Choose tones based on the color behavior you want to test.

1. Click **OK**.
2. NeoStampa will generate the **multi-color chart**. Creating a Single-Color Variation Chart

1. Open the **Color Chart Tool** again.

1. Choose **One Color Variation**.

1. Select the **base color** you want to analyze.

1. Set the **Deviation Percentage** to control color range.
2. Set the **Number of Steps per Channel** to define how many variations are shown.

1. Customize: **Patch size**

• **Spacing** between patches

1. Click **OK**.
2. NeoStampa will generate the **single-color variation chart**. Final Notes NeoStampa color chart workflow is now complete.

• Multi-color charts are ideal for testing blends and transitions.
• Single-color charts are best for dialing in precise color accuracy.
• Printed charts can be measured with a spectrophotometer for deeper analysis.
• These tools help refine profiles and improve consistency across jobs.
