TekColor corrections — making the best selection
The printerÕs TekColor color correction options provide simulations of
different color devices. Follow these basic guidelines so that the printer
accurately reproduces the colors you want on your prints.
■ For typical printing purposes, select the Vivid Color option before
printing.
■ For particular graphic arts effects, there are several printing press
standards to choose from:
SWOP Press (SpeciÞcations for Web Offset Publications)
SNAP Press (SpeciÞcations for Non-Heat Advertising Printing)
Commercial Press
Euroscale Press
DIC (Dai Nippon Ink on Coated Paper)
FujiProof
Toyo
■ For engineering and scientiÞc imaging applications, try printing
with the Simulate Display option.
Color corrections can be selected from printer drivers, set in the printer with
downloadable utility Þles, or set from the printerÕs front panel.
TekColor color corrections are performed in the printer. To use ColorSync
color matching on a Macintosh, or to use host color correction in
Windows 95, refer to the printerÕs CD-ROM or TektronixÕ World Wide Web
site for additional information.
Note
TekColor color corrections do not affect colors speciÞed in the
PostScript Level 2 international color standard CIE XYZ
developed by the Commission Internationale de lÕEclairage
(International Commission on Illumination).
