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.
