Printer-specific PANTONE® Colors

Your printer can produce process color simulations of PANTONE Spot Colors.

Use the following instructions when printing proofs for these types of print jobs:

• One or more spot colors and black (no process colors) for final output on a printing press.
• Spot colors and process colors for final output on a 5+ color printing press.
• Spot colors for final output on your Phaser printer.
• Print a copy of the PANTONE Color chart; see Printing the PANTONE® Color Chart.
• Within an application, apply process colors in your document; use the individual color reference numbers on the sampler chart.
• Print your document; select these printer settings in a driver, or from the front panel, or with a downloadable utility file (driver settings override all other selections):

Color correction:	None
Print quality:	Standard
Media:	Paper

For final output on a color printing press

For colors to be printed as a process color (no spot colors), follow these steps:

1. Open the application.
2. Before separating the file for printing press plates, replace the printer's PANTONE process Colors with standard PANTONE Colors.

PANTONE® Colors from color selection books

In some applications, you can select colors from PANTONE Color selection books. These colors can be proofed on your Phaser printer before final output on a printing press.

Use the following instructions when printing proofs for print jobs with these specifications:

• Final output on a 4-color printing press (no spot colors).
• Spot colors and process colors for final output on a 5+ color printing press.
• From an application, select PANTONE Colors; use individual color values from a PANTONE Colors selection book.
• Print your document; select the Commercial Press color correction. (Proof colors may not be completely accurate, but PANTONE Colors will be printed correctly on a printing press.)
• When you are satisfied with the proof, the file can be separated for printing press plates without adjustment to the file.
