also provides access to controls for Separations and Screening. Most of ARTS PDF 
Crackerjack’s settings may be deselected, allowing the user to rely on their RIP’s 
defaults. 
 
3.9.1.  Color set

set is a predefined selection for those parameters on and related to the Color panel. The 
default entry is “Custom”. If you choose a Color set and then change one or more of the 
color parameters, this field will revert to “Custom”
