Printed colors are not what you expected

In general

Select another Color Correction option in the driver and print your image again. Refer to page 6-5 for more information.

If you are not using a Tektronix driver and are sharing the printer with other users on a network, another user may have changed the printer's color correction setting. Refer to page 8-21 for more information.

If you use the driver's Use Printer's Settings option and printed colors are not what you expected, check to see of a color correction utility file has been downloaded to the printer. These utility files change the printer's color correction setting. Refer to page 8-21 for details on how these settings affect prints made from the driver.

Printing PANTONE Colors

If Phaser 240-specific PANTONE Colors are not printing as expected, make sure you are printing without any color corrections, and with the appropriate print quality mode, paper, and transfer roll. Refer to “Before printing the PANTONE Color chart” on page 6-22 for more information.

If you have questions about PANTONE Color Matching, refer to the HAL article on PANTONE. Refer to page 8-2 for instructions on using HAL and EuroHAL.

Blue colors look too purple

If printed blue colors look too purple, print your document with the Vivid Color color correction. Refer to “Using color corrections” on page 6-4 for instructions and more information.
