Before printing the PANTONE Color chart

The PANTONE-Tek Phaser 240 (PANT240.PS) file prints a PANTONE Color sampler chart (about 46 pages in length). Use the chart to select colors within an application that allows you to specify PANTONE Colors.

Note Do not use any color corrections in a driver or with a downloadable utility file when printing PANTONE Colors from an application. Using any color correction will cause PANTONE Colors to print incorrectly.

The PANTONE Color sampler chart file contains specific color correction and print quality information required for printing the chart. To match colors from within an application to the sampler chart, you must use the following options:

Color correction

None
