MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS 24 Color matching with PostScript applications 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 25).

Using color reference pages to match color Your Color Server user software includes several color reference pages. By choosing colors for your documents from these printed reference pages and specifying the corresponding CMYK values, you ensure that you print the same color from your device.

Color matching with PostScript applications
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 25
).
We highly recommend that you use printed color reference pages to ensure predictable color
printing results with the Color Server or match your Color Server output to colors produced
by other printers.
Using color reference pages to match color
Your Color Server user software includes several color reference pages. By choosing colors for
your documents from these printed reference pages and specifying the corresponding CMYK
values, you ensure that you print the same color from your device.

various cyan, magenta, yellow, and black combinations look when printed on your printer.
To print the CMYK Color Reference, download the file to a recently calibrated Color Server.
