Printing Pantone Colors; Using The Tektronix Halftone Screens - Tektronix Z740/DX - Phaser 740 Extended Color Laser Printer Instruction Manual

Printing PANTONE Colors

Using the Tektronix halftone screens

If printer-specific PANTONE Colors are not printing as expected, make sure that you
are printing without any color corrections selected. Refer to "PANTONE® Color
Files" on page 130 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:
Type of media used
Print quality mode selected
Effective final resolution
Dot structure/halftones
Density of the toner colors
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.
