# Export a Color Table to Onyx

### 1. Import your table

The first thing to do is to drag and drop your color table in Coraye or to perform a "File / Open" to select your color table. 

{% hint style="info" %}
In this example we will use a Avery Dennison Vinyle spot color table created by reading of samples.
{% endhint %}

Coraye is compatible with .cxf, .aco, .acb, .ase, .csv, etc ...

### 2. Export the painting in Onyx format

By right clicking, you will have access to export functionality. Select "**Export**".

![](/files/-M_tA5qenmkF2hTZGX2e)

A new window appears 

Select the ".tab Onyx" icon

![](/files/-M_uT7X5jKTe9Eqch4YD)

You will obtain a .tab file compatible with the Onyx RIP

Choose a name and save it. A ".tab" file is created in the selected folder.

Now your color table is ready to use.

{% hint style="info" %}
Don't forget to give the right name to your spot color in yours printouts.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Be careful, not all colors may be reproducible on your printer. To make sure, we invite you to use the gamut viewer to compare your color table with the icc profile of your printer.
