Color Matching with PANTONE *
Your printer has been approved by Pantone Inc. to simulate PAN-
TONE Colors. Pantone specifies hundreds of spot colors, each identi-
fied by a unique number. Each of these spot colors can be simulated
on the printer with the appropriate combination of process (CMYK)
colors.
Within a Pantone-licensed application (such as Aldus FreeHand or
Adobe Illustrator), you can choose a PANTONE Color number and the
corresponding CMYK simulation is printed. Pantone tables for sup-
porting applications are shipped on a Pantone disk with the printer,
including the following:
n
Aldus FreeHand (Macintosh and Windows)
n
Adobe Illustrator (Macintosh and Windows)
n
QuarkXpress (Macintosh only)
n
CorelDRAW (Windows only)
Instructions for installation and use of these files are included on the
Pantone disk shipped with your printer.
The formulas in the PANTONE Color look-up charts result in Pantone-
approved color only under the following conditions:
n
A Pantone-licensed application (such as Adobe Illustrator,
QuarkXPress, and Aldus FreeHand) is used to create the color.
n
The colors are printed with QMS-supplied toner.
n
The colors are printed on Hammermill Laser Print white paper.
n
The printer's Administration/Emulations/PostScript/ Default Half-
tones option is set to Enhanced.
The formulas listed in the Pantone charts are only for the magicolor
CX printer. Also, the PANTONE Colors generated by this printer are
four-color process simulations and may not exactly match Pantone-
