PhaserMatch™
PhaserMatchª is an application for Macintosh and Windows users that
provides a simple visual approach to calibrating the printer and editing
color proÞles. PhaserMatch provides two modes:
easy
and
expert
. The
easy
step-by-step calibration mode requires no training or special measurement
equipment.
Expert
mode is designed for the most demanding users who
need to consistently and accurately predict and control colors. Users can
calibrate the printer; also, users can create custom proÞles by adjusting dot
gain, deÞning paper background color, controlling color density and color
reproduction curves to simulate the color output of a target press.
The versatility of built-in PostScript Level 2
Tektronix and Adobe co-developed the PostScript Level 2 software in the
Phaser 480X to produce fast color rendering and image processing. Image
data throughput rivals that of dedicated raster interface printers, without the
connectivity limitations.
Software application compatibility
The Phaser 480X lets you make color prints from a wide variety of software
applications since most applications support PostScript output.
Hardware platform compatibility
The printer works with virtually any personal computer or workstation
because it supports simultaneous input through serial, parallel, LocalTalk,
and Ethernet ports.
Expandable memory
The baseline memory for the Phaser 480X is 32 Mbytes of RAM. This
is sufÞcient memory to produce a full two-page spread with a 3-color
transfer roll. You can increase the memory in 16 Mbyte- or
32 Mbyte-increments to achieve 4-color printing, color separations,
and increased throughput speed. Maximum memory capability is
112 Mbytes. See Appendix B for information on expanding memory.
