Xerox 2000 manual CMYK colour charts, Appendix

APPENDIX 3:

CMYK colour charts

The DocuColor 2060 prints using process colours, viz. cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K). You have the ability to mix and blend variations of CMYK to create virtually limitless colour palettes. The following charts provide examples of mixtures

of CMYK that you can use to select colours.

Two types of sample charts are provided. On the left hand side is a chart with a fixed percentage of yellow and a mixture of cyan and magenta in 10% increments (from 0% to 100%). On the right hand side is the same chart with black added. For each combination of cyan, magenta and yellow, 5%, 10%, 20% and 30% black has been added.

Lighting conditions and surrounding colours will influence how you see colours. It is therefore recommended that you view sample charts like these under standardised lighting and use a white or neutral grey sheet of paper with a small square hole cut out to view individual colours.

Due to differences between individual DocuColor 2060 digital colour presses, machine set-up (eg screening), RIPs, RIP options, calibration used, environment, and papers used and their condition, these charts should be used as a guide only. The following charts may differ somewhat from the printed results you get on your DocuColor 2060.

Therefore it’s important that you make sure you print these charts on your DocuColor 2060, utilising your RIP, settings, calibration and paper to give to clients for colour selection and matching.
