Congratulations!  Thank you for purchasing PANTONE® ColorVANTAGE™ INKS from Pantone, 
Inc.  If you follow the steps below, we are sure that you will be pleased with the results our ink set 
delivers. 

 

PANTONE ColorVANTAGE is an optimized set of inks and expertly created ICC profiles that, 
when used together, provide the best and most accurate color reproduction from your printer.  

 

 

 

ColorVANTAGE INKS are not direct OEM replacement inks - the ink formulations and 
appearance are distinctly different from the inks provided by the manufacturer or other standard 
replacement type inks.

 

 

 

•  ColorVantage inks are specially designed by the color experts at Pantone, Inc. to provide a 
larger color gamut and superior lightfastness than the inks delivered by the printer manufacturer.  
•  In order to achieve an increased dynamic color range, the ink formulations and appearance are 
distinctly different from the inks provided by the manufacturer or other standard replacement type 
inks.
