PANTONE Support

This profile replicates the PANTONE Matching System,

the reference standard for defining custom colors in

graphic arts, textiles, and numerous creative color

industries. PANTONE is used in graphic applications

such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, as

well as QuarkXPress, Macromedia Freehand, and

several versions of CorelDRAW and Designer. Its

applications include the precise reproduction of

custom colors for company logos, skin tones, and

packaging. Many of the colors are custom mixtures

that are printed separately from the process colors

(CMYK). There are more than 3,000 PANTONE colors,

and while it is impossible for a CMYK printer to

reproduce them all, the Savin CLP37DN/CLP42DN

can reproduce a subset of 1,089 PANTONE-defined

colors in this mode. It is this support that helps Savin

position these printers as graphics-quality devices.

Please note this function is not

available through the

printer drivers. PANTONE has created a special release package for Savin that is available for download from

the Savin website. These color palettes are used for creating new documents and files within specific

applications such as those mentioned above. In order for a user to get the closest possible match to a

PANTONE color from a Savin device the user must download these color palettes into the application, and then

select colors from these imported palettes to create their design.

The main difference between the PaletteColor CMYK Simulation Profile and PANTONE Support is that

PaletteColor CMYK Simulation Profile is used when the file has already been created on another device

allowing users to get the closest match to the PANTONE colors using their Savin printer. Savin Color Profile for

PANTONE Support is used when creating a brand new file. In this case the user is best importing the PANTONE

palettes into their application prior to building a new original document, and selecting colors directly from the

PANTONE profiles.

PANTONE certification for the Savin CLP37DN/CLP42DN is expected December 2010.
