Methods of printing PANTONE Colors
There are two ways of working with PANTONE Colors:
■ ÒPrinter-speciÞc PANTONE ColorsÓ on page 4-11 are process
color simulations of PANTONE Spot Colors.
■ ÒPANTONE Colors from swatch booksÓ on page 4-12 let you
specify PANTONE Colors for printing on a press.
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:
■ Printing proofs with one or more spot colors and black (no process
colors) for Þnal output on a printing press.
■ Printing proofs with spot colors and process colors for Þnal output
on a 5+ color printing press.
■ Printing proofs with spot colors for Þnal output on your
Phaser 380 printer.
1. Refer to the on-line manuals on the printerÕs CD-ROM to print a
copy of the printer-speciÞc PANTONE Color chart.
2. Use the individual color reference numbers on the chart to select
spot colors within an application.
3. When you print your Þle, use the None color correction.
4. If you are printing proofs with spot colors and process colors for
Þnal output on a 5+ color printing press: For any color that will
be printed as a process color (not a spot color), replace the
printerÕs PANTONE process colors with standard PANTONE
Colors within the application before separating the Þle for
plates.
