Detect and list separations using Preflight Checks or Reports

It is of course possible to detect colorants using a Preflight Check, e.g. by using the predefined "Analyze pages for effectively used plates" or the attached Profile, which has been extended by separate Checks for individual CMYK colorants. The percentage ink coverage is listed in the trigger values of the respective Check.
