Another method of color matching supported by the magicolor 6100 via QMS Q
COLOR
technology is PANTONE.
PANTONE, a standard color system within the graphic arts and prepress industry,
specifies hundreds of spot colors, each identified by a unique number.
Each PANTONE Color can be simulated on a printer with the appropriate combination
of process (CMYK) colors.
Within a supporting application, the desired PANTONE Color number and the corre-
sponding CMYK value are accessed from a look-up table for the printer. QMS pro-
vides PANTONE Color look-up (or matching) tables for supporting popular design and
publishing applications:
If a particular application does not support PANTONE Colors, but does allow
process color specification, the CMYK values may be entered directly. The
magicolor
6100 ships with software on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM to print a complete
set of PANTONE Charts with the appropriate CMYK values.
The advantages of using PANTONE as a color matching system is it is very easy to
use, is widely supported, and is great for spot color. However, it is not as accurate as
other methods of color matching, can’t be used for photographs, and is limited to spe-
cific application software.

ers is color calibration. For these graphics professionals, it is important to maintain
