Using Color 6

Simulating display screen colors

The Simulate Display option makes printed colors approximate the colors on a standard display screen. This selection should improve the screen-to-printer color accuracy for most applications that don’t perform their own color corrections. This selection is best for applications that define colors as RGB (red, green, blue), HLS (hue, lightness, saturation), or HSB (hue, saturation, brightness).

Closely match printing press colors

Use the Simulate Press option if you are previewing work for a four color job to be printed on a printing press. This option simulates a four-color commercial printing press, not solid spot colors, such as PANTONE Colors.

Note If you are selecting Phaser 240-specific PANTONE Colors in your application, use the None option; see page 6-10 for details. Also, use the None option with other color management systems, such as EfiColor.
