Achromatic Color/Separation
The term achromatic composition is a term used in process engineering for the electronic reproduction of color sets.
Areas of an image that become black or gray anyway are not built up by the portions of the colored basic colors (CMY) (as generated by the color build-up), but by black printing ink.

Additive Color
Additive color is a method to create color by mixing a number of different light colors, with shades of red, green, and blue being the most common primary colors used in the additive color system.

Adobe Illustrator
Illustrator is considered the industry standard in vector graphics. In addition to a wide range of creative functions, Illustrator is especially impresses with its ability to open and edit PDF files. The following problems can occur when editing PDF files in Adobe Illustrator:
- Layers in a PDF file are lost when opened in Adobe Illustrator.
- Color constructs such as DeviceN, Grayscale, and Bitmap cannot be edited in Adobe Illustrator. Editing colors can only be mapped without fault if exclusively CMYK or RGB is used in conjunction with Spot Colors.
- Embedded fonts in the print file cannot be used. The presence of the fonts on the local system is required for editing text.

Alternate Color Space
Spot Colors have an alternate Color Space that is used for conversion to the target Color Space if the Spot Color cannot be directly separated in the output. The following Color Spaces can be stored as an alternate Color Space for spot colors:
- CMYK - was stored as the default value in the early days of print production.
- RGB - rarely used in practice
- Lab - is used by default in practice nowadays, as this ensures that a conversion to any target color space will result in the smallest possible ∆E value.
