Some of the PANTONE® * colors will not match exactly. There are

 

over 945 PANTONE® * colors in the PANTONE® * Matching System.

 

These colors were created using sixteen inks on a lithographic

 

printing press. Not all of these colors are reproducible by a laser color

 

printer because they are out of a laser printer's 4-color range (gamut).

 

PANTONE® * calibrates HP printers to provide the closest match for

 

all the colors we can reproduce and provide the colors closest to

 

those we cannot reproduce.

 

 

Note

This feature requires the use of the PostScript 3 Emulation printer

 

driver. It utilizes a function in the PostScript language for describing

 

custom colors like PANTONE® * that is unique to PostScript and not

 

present in the PCL data stream. PANTONE® * colors are used mostly

 

in publishing environments by applications such as QuarkXpress and

 

Adobe InDesign that tend to use PostScript only.
