PANTONE Colors from swatch books

In some applications, you can select PANTONE Colors from a swatch book. These colors can be proofed on your Phaser 380 printer before Þnal printing on a printing press. Use the following instructions when printing proofs for these types of print jobs:

■Printing proofs for Þnal output on a 4-color printing press (no spot colors).

■Printing proofs with spot colors and process colors for Þnal output on a 5+ color printing press.

1.Select PANTONE Colors within an application using the individual color values from a PANTONE Colors swatch book.

2.Print your Þle to a Phaser 380 printer with the Commercial Press color correction. (The proof colors may not be completely accurate, but the PANTONE Colors will be printed correctly on a printing press.)

3.When you are satisÞed with the proof, the Þle can be separated for plates without adjustment to the Þle.
