HP Designjet Z6100 Printer series - Manual (Page 129)

HP Professional PANTONE* Emulation takes into account the characteristics of the printer and the paper
type. The results look as similar to the original PANTONE* colors as is possible on a given printer using
a given paper type. This technology is designed to produce emulations that are similar to those that
prepress professionals establish.
To use HP Professional PANTONE* Emulation, just turn it on.
● With the Windows PostScript printer driver: click the Color tab, and then select HP Professional
PANTONE Emulation.
● With a Mac OS printer driver: select the Color Options panel, and then selectHP Professional
PANTONE Emulation.
● Through the Embedded Web Server: select the Submit Job page, and then select Color > HP
Professional PANTONE Emulation.
●
On the front panel: select the icon, and then select Printing preferences > Color
options > Black point compensation.
NOTE: HP Professional PANTONE* Emulation is available only when printing a PostScript or
PDF job.
You can also use the Embedded Web Server to print a swatch book that shows emulations of PANTONE*
colors from your printer, along with a measure of the color difference (ΔE) between each emulation and
the original PANTONE* spot color. HP Professional PANTONE* Emulation not only provides the closest
match that can be achieved on your printer; but also provides clear information about how close the
emulation is to the original spot color.
To print a swatch book, click the Embedded Web Server Main tab, and then select HP Professional
PANTONE* Emulation. Select the PANTONE* stock to emulate, and then select the PANTONE* colors
that you want to print. When you have selected all the colors that you want, click the Print button.
