Printing: Beyond the Basics 4

TekColor corrections — making the best selection

The printer’s TekColor color correction options provide simulations of different color devices. Follow these basic guidelines so that the printer accurately reproduces the colors you want on your prints.

■For typical business and office printing, select the Vivid Color option before printing.

■For engineering and scientific imaging applications, try printing with the Simulate Display option.

■For graphic arts purposes, there are three printing press standards to choose from: SWOP Press (Specifications for Web Offset Publications), Commercial Press and Euroscale Press.

Color corrections can be selected from printer drivers, set in the printer with downloadable utility files, or set from the printer’s front panel.

TekColor color corrections are performed in the printer. To use ColorSync color matching on a Macintosh, or to use host color correction in Windows 95, refer to the printer’s CD-ROM or Tektronix’ World Wide Web site for additional information.

Note TekColor color corrections do not affect colors specified in the PostScript Level 2 international color standard CIE XYZ developed by the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (International Commission on Illumination).
