PANTONE color profiles
Most software programs that support the use of PANTONE colors for graphic objects include the
PANTONE name in the postscript output along with the color values that are assigned to the object.
Select a software program that uses a PANTONE palette in a CMYK workspace, and print with the HP
PS Universal Print Driver in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows
Vista, or Windows 7.
When SWOP (Specifications Web Offset Printing) is selected as the CMYK Color setting, these
CMYK values provide a good reproduction of the PANTONE 4C spot-color simulations.
Vector graphics, such as company logos that are created in PANTONE Application Palettes, can be
imported into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other Microsoft Office software programs. The color
program must create an encapsulated postscript (.eps) file of the image that will be imported. Use the
Insert file function to import the file into the Office document.
