Before you print the CMYK, RGB, and HSB color charts
To match colors on the charts to colors selected within an application, use the
same printer color correction to print the charts that you are going to use
when selecting and printing those colors within an application.
Different options, such as color correction, print quality, paper type, and
transfer roll type, affect the way the colors on the sampler charts look when
printed. Before printing a color chart, select the combination of options you
use most often, then use those same options later when printing the colors
from within an application. Make a selection from each column in the
following table, and write the combination of options on the printed chart
for future reference.
For example, if you are printing from an application with the driver’s Vivid
Color
and Enhanced options selected, then print the color chart with the
Vivid Color (VIVDCOLR.PS) and Enhanced Quality (ENHANCED.PS) utility
files downloaded to the printer. Or, if you are not using a Tektronix driver,
use the same downloaded utility file to print the chart and to print the colors
from an application.
