Using the CMYK color reference page
The CMYK color reference page, included with your KX-P8420 user
software, let you see how various cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
combinations look when printed on your print device. Using the CMYK color
reference pages, you can easily determine the CMYK values to specify to
obtain the printed colors you want.
The CMYK color reference file is an 11-page, letter-size PostScript file.
To use the CMYK color reference pages, download the file using a
downloader utility such as the WebDownloader. (For instructions on using
the WebDownloader, see “
Chapter 4
Managing Print Jobs”.) The printed
pages display groups of color patches in graduated combinations of yellow,
magenta, and cyan, and smaller patches that include 25, 50, and 75%
black. Refer to these pages to pick colors and specify process color values
in your application.

Using the PANTONE color reference pages
The PANTONE color reference pages, included with your KX-P8420 user
software, lets you determine the nearest CMYK values to match a given
color in the PANTONE color for coated paper.
To print the PANTONE reference pages, download the PANTONE file using
the WebDownloader. (For instructions on using the WebDownloader, see
“
Chapter 4
Managing Print Jobs”.) The printed pages display PANTONE
color simulation names and numbers. Refer to these pages to see how
PANTONE colors defined in applications print on the KX-P8420 printer.
