Color sampler charts

The printer diskettes and CD-ROM contain color sampler charts for the following color specification methods:

CMYK

Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black

RGB

Red, green, and blue

HSB

Hue, saturation, and brightness

PANTONE® Colors

The charts consist of colored rectangles and coordinate values. Print the appropriate chart for your application, and use the coordinate values (numbers printed beneath each color) to select colors within an application. For example, your printer can produce PANTONE-approved process color simulations. Use the PANTONE Color sampler chart to select the process color values within software applications that support PANTONE Colors.

If you use an application that specifies print colors using CMYK values, use the CMYK charts. If you use an application that specifies print colors using RGB values, use the RGB charts. For details on printing the charts, refer to the Phaser 340 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference.

If you did not receive the color sampler charts, you can download them from the Tektronix ftp server, the Tektronix Bulletin Board Service (BBS), or the Tektronix World Wide Web server. Refer to “Online services” on page 6-2 for information on Tektronix’ online services.
