Printing: Beyond the Basics 4

TekColor corrections — making the best selection

The printerÕs 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 printing purposes, select the Vivid Color option before printing.

■For particular graphic arts effects, there are several printing press standards to choose from:

SWOP Press (SpeciÞcations for Web Offset Publications) SNAP Press (SpeciÞcations for Non-Heat Advertising Printing)

Commercial Press Euroscale Press

DIC (Dai Nippon Ink on Coated Paper)

FujiProof Toyo

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

Color corrections can be selected from printer drivers, set in the printer with downloadable utility Þles, or set from the printerÕs 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 printerÕs CD-ROM or TektronixÕ World Wide Web site for additional information.

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