Using the CMYK Color Reference

Use the CMYK Color Reference included with your Color Server user software to see how

The printed pages display groups of color patches in graduated combinations of yellow,
magenta, and cyan, and smaller patches that include 25%, 50%, and 75% black. Use these
pages to pick colors and specify process color values in your application. The file is included
on the User Software CD or DVD.
