Closely match printing press colors

There are three printing press color correction options. Each press option conforms to a different printing standard. Use a press option if you are previewing work for a four-color job to be printed on a printing press. These options simulate a four-color commercial printing press, not solid spot colors, such as PANTONE PMS Colors.

Note If you are selectingprinter-specific PANTONE Colors in your application, use the None option; see “Turning off all color corrections” on page 5-20. Also, use the None option with other color management systems, such as EfiColor.
