In the case of the colours a material library should be installed in addition to the TGA materials. This simplifies the access on the materials.

The adherence to the above mentioned material path name is necessary for the flawless functioning of the installed materials.

In this program variant the CMYK palettes (artprint, offset printing uncoated and coated paper) were defined in RGB. To achieve this the black component was substituted by respective negative RGB values (standard formula).
