Some of the PANTONE
®
* colors will not match exactly. There are over
945 PANTONE
®
* colors in the PANTONE
®
* Matching System. These
colors were created using sixteen inks on a lithographic printing
press. Not all of these colors are reproducible by a laser color printer
because they are out of a laser printer's 4-color range (gamut).
PA N TONE
®
* calibrates HP printers to provide the closest match for all
the colors we can reproduce and provide the colors closest to those
we cannot reproduce.
Note This feature requires the use of the PostScript 3 Emulation printer
driver. It utilizes a function in the PostScript language for describing
custom colors like PANTONE
®
* that is unique to PostScript and not
present in the PCL data stream. PANTONE
®
* colors are used mostly
in publishing environments by applications such as QuarkXpress and
Adobe InDesign that tend to use PostScript only.
