Getting the best results

There are many variables in process reproduction of colors generated by the Phaser 340, any one of which may affect the quality of the PANTONE Color simulation, including:

■Quality of paper and transparency film

■Selected resolution

■Dot structure/halftones

For optimal results, always use the recommended Tektronix supplies. Refer to Chapter 5 for ordering information.
