PANTONE Colors Do Not Match

Probable Causes
The printed colors do not match the PANTONE color
chart for the printer.
Solutions
To match the document colors to the color chart:
• If the option is available in your application, select a
printer PPD file for printing.
• Before you try to match PANTONE colors, turn off
any non-Xerox color matching software, such as
ColorSync or ICM color matching.
• To adjust PANTONE spot color, in the PostScript print
driver, select Image Options>Color
Correction>Custom Automatic Color>Spot Colors.
Note: Printed PANTONE color charts can fade over time
or when exposed to sunlight. If the printed color charts
have been exposed to light for an extended period,
reprint them.
• Compare the printed color charts with the PANTONE
Color swatch available from PANTONE, Inc.
• To preserve the color, store printed PANTONE color
charts in a dark place.
Note: If the paper type is unsupported, does not meet
specifications, or is at the end of its useful life, color
adjustments can be ineffective.
