CMYK and PANTONE color reference pages are provided on the KX-
PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 in the form of downloadable PostScript files.
■ CMYK color reference
The CMYK Color Reference is a PostScript file (Cmyk_ref.ps), which can be
printed using a PostScript downloader utility, such as Fiery WebDownloader
or from DOS prompt through parallel port by copy command (ex. copy
cmyk_ref.ps prn). If the file has not already been installed in the Panasonic
KX-PS8100 directory on your hard disk drive, you can copy it from the
Clrfiles directory on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 to a directory of your
choice.
Each of the 11 pages display swatches in graduated combinations of yellow,
magenta, and cyan, and smaller patches that include 25%, 50%, and 75%
black. The process colors are shown in 10% increments. You can specify
these colors, and colors in between, in any application that allows you to
define colors as CMYK percentages—and use the pages to see how they
will be printed on your particular printer.
For more information about color management using the CMYK Color
Reference, see “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” in
Utilities and
Drivers Reference Guide on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc2.
■ PANTONE coated color reference
The PANTONE Coated Color Reference is a PostScript file (Pantone.ps),
which can be printed using a PostScript downloader utility, such as Fiery
WebDownloader or from DOS prompt through parallel port by copy
command (ex. copy Pantone.ps prn). If the file has not already been
installed in the Panasonic KX-PS8100 directory on your hard disk drive, you
can copy it from the Clrfiles directory on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 to
a directory of your choice.
The PANTONE color matching system is a standard color system within the
graphic arts and prepress industries. It specifies hundreds of spot colors,
each identified with a unique number. Each PANTONE color is simulated on
the printer by printing an appropriate combination of process (CMYK)
colors. The ability to simulate PANTONE colors is a basic form of color
management.
You can choose PANTONE colors in any application that allows you to
define colors as named PANTONE colors—and use the pages to see how
they will be printed on your particular printer.
For more information about color management using the PANTONE Coated
Color Reference, see “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” in
Utilities
and Drivers Reference Guide on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc2.
