Printing PANTONE Colors

If Phaser 560 printer-specific PANTONE Colors are not printing as expected, make sure that you are printing without any color corrections selected. Refer to “Printing and using the color sampler charts” on page 5-25 for more information.

If you have questions about PANTONE Color Matching, refer to the HAL article on PANTONE Colors. Refer to page 7-3 for information on using the HAL and EuroHAL fax systems.

There are many variables in process reproduction of colors generated by the Phaser 560 printer, any one of which may affect the quality of the PANTONE Color simulation, including:

■Type of media used

■Print quality mode selected

■Effective final resolution

■Dot structure/halftones

■Density of the toner colors.

Using the Tektronix halftone screens

Tektronix halftone screens are designed for Tektronix printers, and improve print quality over application-set halftone screens. The Setscreen Off (SCRENOFF.PS) utility file redefines some PostScript operators, such as the setscreen, setcolorscreen and sethalftone. When downloaded to the printer, this file prevents applications from overriding the Tektronix proprietary halftone screens.
