Procedure for printing the palettes
4-12
Your IPS has two sets of color palette trace files, stored in the
/var/db directory on the Printer Controller. Each set contains one
palette for each color of dry ink available for the IPS. Appendix B of
your System Overview Guide contains samples of both sets of
printed palettes for each color ink.
Note: Each color file is applicable only to the corresponding color
of dry ink that is installed in the printer.
By printing the following palette files, you can see how the different
color extractions affect the appearance of colored areas printed with
each color of ink.
•
blue_palette.trace
•
brown_palette.trace
•
cardinal_palette.trace
•
cyan_palette.trace
•
green_palette.trace
•
magenta_palette.trace
•
red_palette.trace
•
royal_palette.trace
•
ruby_palette.trace
•
violet_palette.trace
The following palettes show the range of shades and tints that can be
printed with each of the highlight color inks, and gives the
percentages of color, black, and/or white that make up each one.
•
blue2_palette.trace
•
brown2_palette.trace
•
cardinal2_palette.trace
•
cyan2_palette.trace
•
green2_palette.trace
•
pink2_palette.trace (prints magenta)
•
red2_palette.trace
•
royal2_palette.trace
•
ruby2_palette.trace
•
violet2_palette.trace
You can print out these palette files, which are actually captured
trace files, to find out how your particular IPS printer produces the
various shades and tints of the color ink that is loaded. Use the
procedure for executing a captured trace, as follows.
1. Make sure that the specified extraction color is the same as the
color ink that is loaded in the printer. For palettes of colors that
are not listed on the Extraction menu, substitute extraction
colors as directed in "Setting the extraction color," earlier in this
chapter.
2. Select Trace Options from the Diagnostics pull-down menu on
the IPS main window.
3. On the Trace Options window, click Offline.
