If the Phaser 360 printerÕs printer-speciÞc PANTONE Colors are not printing
as expected, make sure that you are printing with the Enhanced
print-quality setting and with color corrections set to None. Refer to

CD-ROM for more information.
There are many variables in process reproduction of colors generated by the
Phaser 360 printer, any one of which may affect the quality of the PANTONE
Color simulation, including:
Type of ink used on printing press

Effective Þnal resolution
Dot structure/halftones
