Methods of printing PANTONE Colors

For the latest information on color libraries, visit the Tektronix web site at
www.tek.com/Color_Printers/ or contact your local Tektronix reseller.
PANTONE Color files for your printer include color library files for specific
applications and PANTONE Color sampler charts. The printer's CD-ROM provides
two sets of PANTONE Color files. Both sets are installed when you select Custom
Install (see "Installing PANTONE® Color files" on page 73). One set of files is
optimized for the Standard print-quality mode, and the other is optimized for the
Enhanced print-quality mode on your printer.

For printing in Photo print-quality mode, the Enhanced reference files are
recommended.
Enhanced and Photo print-quality modes are available with the Graphics or Plus
Feature set.
If you are printing:
Proofs with no spot colors for a 4-color
press
Proofs with one or more spot colors and
black (no process colors)
Proofs using spot and process colors for
output on a 5+ color press
Proofs; final work to be printed on a
Phaser printer
Printer-specific PANTONE Colors
Your printer can produce process color simulations of PANTONE Spot Colors.
Use the following instructions when printing proofs for these types of print jobs:
One or more spot colors and black (no process colors) for final output on a
printing press.
Spot colors and process colors for final output on a 5+ color printing press.
Spot colors for final output on your Phaser printer.

Print a copy of the PANTONE Color chart that corresponds to the
print-quality mode (Standard or Enhanced) you are using; see page 74.

Within an application, apply spot colors in your document; use the
individual color reference numbers on the sampler chart.
