Using the color reference pages
The RIP Station User Software includes several types of color reference pages that you
can view and print to see the full range of colors available from your RIP Station. The
pages included are:
• The CMYK Color Reference pages enable you to view and print CMYK color
patches in the range of colors the printer can print.
• The RGB Color Reference pages are a Microsoft Word and a Microsoft PowerPoint
file that you can open in the application to view the colors available in the standard
palette for that application and see how they print on the printer.
• The PANTONE reference pages are text files that indicate the closest RGB
equivalents of the PANTONE colors on various resolution and media combinations
for your printer model.
For information on installing these files, see the Setup Guide.

CMYK Color Reference pages

The Color Reference folder contains a PostScript file of color reference pages that you
can download to the RIP Station. You can use the pages as a reference for graphics
applications that allow you to specify color as values of cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black. The pages display groups of color patches and give you the percentage of each
process color required to achieve the color shown. There are 11 pages—each one shows
colors from 0% to 100%.
