conforms to a different printing standard. Use a press option if you are
previewing work for a four-color job to be printed on a printing press. These
options simulate a four-color commercial printing press, not solid spot
colors, such as PANTONE Colors.
If you are selecting PANTONE Colors in your application, use the
Note
TekColor None option; see page 4-6 for details. Also, use the None
option with other color management systems, such as EÞColor.
