The lightness slider simply makes the whole print lighter or darker. This slider is available in the

same window as the other grayscale controls.

The zone definition sliders can be used to define what you mean by highlight, midtone and

shadow.

The other controls for highlight, midtone and shadow can be used to adjust the gray balance of

highlights, midtones and shadows respectively.

The Reset button restores each control to its default setting.

HP Professional PANTONE Emulation

When you use a named PANTONE color in an image, your application will normally send to the

printer a CMYK or RGB approximation to that color. But the application does not take the printer or the

paper type into account, it merely produces a generic approximation of the PANTONE color, which

will look different on different printers and on different papers.

HP Professional PANTONE Emulation can do a much better job by taking 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 similar to those set up manually by prepress professionals.

To use HP Professional PANTONE Emulation, all you have to do is to turn it on. In fact, it is normally on

by default.

In the Windows PostScript driver dialog: go to the Color tab and select HP

Professional PANTONE Emulation.

In the Mac OS PostScript Print dialog: go to the Color Options panel and select HP

Professional PANTONE Emulation.
