Xerox 2000 manual Pantone colour charts, Appendix

APPENDIX 4:

Pantone colour charts

The DocuColor 2060 is not capable of printing spot colours. However, it can convert Pantone colours into CMYK process colours on the fly during the RIP stage. Both the Fiery and CreoScitex RIPs will convert Pantone colours into process colours, but their conversion algorithms are slightly different.

Because the gamut of the DocuColor 2060 is broader than offset presses using process colours, it can match about 75% of all Pantone colours to an acceptable level compared with around 50% of offset presses running process colours.

The following charts show how Pantone colours are reproduced on the DocuColor 2060. Each Pantone colour is split into two halves. The left half shows the Pantone spot colour converted by the RIP. The right half shows the same colour using the Pantone Solid to Process values (ie, the CMYK simulation values specified by Pantone for that colour).

Due to differences between individual DocuColor 2060 digital colour presses, machine set-up (eg screening), RIPs (and their colour conversion algorithms), 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.
