22-6 Working with Color in Applications Choosing colors in PostScript applications With PostScript applications, you can create colors using any of the color models supported by the application. All PostScript applications support CMYK; some also support RGB and other color models based on monitor display values. PostScript applications also allow you to choose named colors using one or more color libraries, such as PANTONE (see page 2-7). Use swatch color matching to ensure predictable color printing results with the Color Server or to match your Color Server output to colors produced by other printers. Swatch color matching Your Color Server user software includes several color reference pages (see page 2-2). By choosing colors from these reference pages, you ensure that you get the same color from your device. For best results, calibrate the Color Server before printing the reference pages. NOTE: Swatch color matching does not match monitor colors to printed colors. For this, you must use a color management system and calibrate your monitor.

Working with Color in Applications
Choosing colors in PostScript applications
With PostScript applications, you can create colors using any of the color models
supported by the application. All PostScript applications support CMYK; some also
support RGB and other color models based on monitor display values. PostScript
applications also allow you to choose named colors using one or more color libraries,
such as PANTONE (see
page 2-7
).
Use swatch color matching to ensure predictable color printing results with the Color
Server or to match your Color Server output to colors produced by other printers.
Swatch color matching
Your Color Server user software includes several color reference pages (see
page 2-2
).
By choosing colors from these reference pages, you ensure that you get the same color
from your device. For best results, calibrate the Color Server before printing the
reference pages.
