PANTONE Colors from swatch books

In some applications, you can select PANTONE Colors from a swatch book.

These colors can be proofed on your Phaser 380 printer before Þnal printing

on a printing press. Use the following instructions when printing proofs for

these types of print jobs:

Printing proofs for Þnal output on a 4-color printing press (no spot

colors).

Printing proofs with spot colors and process colors for Þnal output

on a 5+ color printing press.

1.

Select PANTONE Colors within an application using the

individual color values from a PANTONE Colors swatch book.

2.

Print your Þle to a Phaser 380 printer with the Commercial Press

color correction. (The proof colors may not be completely

accurate, but the PANTONE Colors will be printed correctly on a

printing press.)

3.

When you are satisÞed with the proof, the Þle can be separated for

plates without adjustment to the Юle.
