Our very own color library for direct inks (fluorescent inks). Basic one with fluor yellow and magenta, extended (OG) with fluor orange and green. Attached you have:
- PDF with these color libraries.
- ASE and ACB files for Illustrator and Photoshop.
You just have to load the PDFs into a scheme with fluorescent yellow and magenta inks (set either as spot or integrated) and all the replacements will load automatically substitutions. For inkset with four fluors (yellow, magenta, orange and green) you can load the extended chart (Device Color OG) and these extended replacement will be automatically loaded (on all modes, either spot or integrated).
How to install the color library in Illustrator / Photoshop
For Illustrator on Mac: Copy the .acb or .ase file into Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe Illustrator > Presets > Language > Samples and you'll be able to open it directly when opening the library.
For Illustrator on PC: Copy the .acb or .ase file into c:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator/Presets/Samples
For Photoshop on Mac: Copy the .acb or file into Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe Photoshop > Presets > Color Swatches and you'll be able to open it directly when opening the library.

Please take into account that this Device Color Library will only work on Photoshop if it's used as a spot color channel and saving it as PSD, TIF, or PDF.
