Choosing colors in office applications
Two RGB color reference pages, a Microsoft Word file and a Microsoft
PowerPoint file, are provided with your iR C2100/2100S user software. Print
these files using different CRDs to see how the colors appear when printed to
the iR C2100/2100S. For best results, print the color reference page using
the same print options you plan to use for your final document. Select the
colors you want to use from the printed version of the RGB color reference
page and then use those colors in your document.

PostScript applications

Most applications used for illustration, pixel editing, and page layout can
create the PostScript information they send to PostScript copier/printer or
save in PostScript files. Illustrator, Photoshop, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and
FreeHand are all PostScript applications.
PostScript applications work with color in many different ways. Most allow
you to choose process colors (by entering percentages for cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black), as well as named colors from a custom color system such
as PANTONE. When you print composites, these applications send process-
color equivalents for named spot colors to the copier/printer. In some
applications, you can also choose colors using the RGB, HSB, HSL, or other
color models.
