Printing Pantone Colors; Using The Tektronix Halftone Screens - Tektronix Phaser 750 User Manual

Printing PANTONE Colors

If printer-specific PANTONE Colors are not printing as expected, make sure that you are
printing without any color corrections selected. Refer to PANTONE Colors on page 78 for
more information.
There are many variables in process reproduction of colors generated by your printer, any
one of which may affect the quality of the PANTONE Color simulation, including:
I Type of media used
I Print quality mode selected
I Effective final resolution
I Dot structure/halftones
I Density of the toner colors

Using the Tektronix halftone screens

Tektronix halftone screens are designed for Tektronix printers, and improve print quality
over application-set halftone screens. The Setscreen Off (SCRENOFF.PS) utility file
redefines some PostScript operators, such as the setscreen, setcolorscreen and sethalftone.
When downloaded to the printer, this file prevents applications from overriding the
Tektronix proprietary halftone screens.
