Printing PANTONE Colors from the color selection book

In some applications, you can select colors from the PANTONE Process Imaging Guide. These colors can be proofed on your Phaser printer before final output on a printing press. For this method, the printer-specific PANTONE Color files are not required.

1.From the application, select and apply PANTONE Colors. Use the individual color values from the PANTONE Process Imaging Guide.

2.Print your document, selecting Commercial Press or SWOP Press for the color correction in the printer driver; see page 3 for more information.

3.When you are satisfied with the proof, the file can be separated for printing press plates without adjustment to the file.

Printing printer-specific PANTONE Colors

Your printer can produce process color simulations of PANTONE Spot Colors.

1.Print a copy of the PANTONE Color chart; see page 16 for more information.

2.Within the application, define the desired color in your document by using the individual CMYK values that appear on the sampler chart.

3.Print your document, selecting None for the color correction in the printer driver; (see page 3 for more information). For best results, use the proper print quality setting and the same type of paper that you used to print the PANTONE Color chart.

For final output on a color printing press (colors printed as a process color, not spot colors):

1.Open the application.

2.Replace the printer’s PANTONE process Colors with standard PANTONE Colors.

3.Separate the file for printing press plates.
