Creating Custom Swatch Colors

NOTE

•The Swatch Utility does not guarantee that the printer prints the same color as displayed on your monitor. Consider the displayed color as a reference.

•The printer may not be able to print the exact color that you desire.

If you don't find your desired color, you can create or customize colors:

1.Select Custom Swatch from the File menu.

2.On the pop-up window, there are 3 slide bars that allow you to customize swatches:

–Hue bar changes the hue of the swatches, for example, red to green or blue to yellow.

–Saturation bar changes vividness.

–Lightness bar changes darkness.

3.Adjust the bars until you see the desired color.

Color variations are created to help you find the best match.

4.Click OK.

5.Print the custom swatch page.

6.Repeat these steps until you find the desired printed color.

7.For additional information, see the Swatch Utility Read-me file located in the Windows Programs list.
