Printing individual pages from Acrobat Reader

1.

You will need to install Acrobat Reader if you want to print individual pages from the
PANTONE Color chart. Insert the printer’s CD-ROM in your computer’s drive, go to
the Utilities folder, and install Acrobat Reader onto your computer’s hard disk; follow
on-screen instructions.

2.

After Acrobat Reader is installed, locate the Pantone files you downloaded from the
web site. Double-click the desired PDF file.

3.

View and print pages from the PDF file. For best results, print on paper.

Note

Print only with the None Color Correction setting; other settings cause
PANTONE Colors to print differently than expected.

Printing the entire chart

Use the Apple Printer Utility to download to the printer the desired PANTONE Color
PostScript file, refer to page 23 for instructions. This PostScript file contains
necessary color correction and print quality settings.

For best results and truest color:

Print the chart on paper that is similar to the paper that will be used on the
printing press.

Turn off two-sided printing when printing the color chart in order to reduce the
effects of color show-through.
