Closely match printing press colors

There are several printing press color correction options. Each press option

conforms to a different printing standard. Use a press option if you are

previewing work for a four-color job to be printed on a printing press. These

options simulate a four-color commercial printing press, not solid spot

colors, such as PANTONE Colors.

Note

If you are selecting PANTONE Colors in your application, use the

TekColor None option; see page 4-6 for details. Also, use the None

option with other color management systems, such as EÞColor.
