Color quality guide Page 5 of 6 How can I match a particular color (such as a color in a corporate logo)? Occasionally users have a need for the printed color of a particular object to closely match a specific color of interest. A typical example of this situation is when a user is trying to match the color of a corporate logo. While instances can occur in which the printer cannot exactly reproduce the desired color, users should be able to identify adequate color matches for the majority of cases. The Color Samples menu items can provide useful information in helping to solve this particular type of color matching problem. The eight Color Samples options correspond to color conversion tables in the printer. Selecting any of the Color Samples options will generate a multi-page printout consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Either a CMYK or RGB combination will be located on each box depending upon the table selected. The observed color of each box is the result obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination labeled on the box through the selected color conversion table. The user can scan the color samples pages and identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired color. The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software application. The software application's Help section should provide instructions for modifying an object's color. Manual Color Correction may be necessary to utilize the selected color conversion table for the particular object. Which Color Samples pages to use for a particular color matching problem depends upon the Color Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how the color of the object is specified in the software application (RGB or CMYK combinations).

How can I match a particular color (such as a color in a corporate logo)?
Occasionally users have a need for the printed color of a particular object to closely match a specific color of
interest. A typical example of this situation is when a user is trying to match the color of a corporate logo. While
instances can occur in which the printer cannot exactly reproduce the desired color, users should be able to
identify adequate color matches for the majority of cases. The
Color Samples
menu items can provide useful
information in helping to solve this particular type of color matching problem.
The eight Color Samples options correspond to color conversion tables in the printer. Selecting any of the Color
Samples options will generate a multi-page printout consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Either a CMYK or
RGB combination will be located on each box depending upon the table selected. The observed color of each
box is the result obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination labeled on the box through the selected
color conversion table.
The user can scan the color samples pages and identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired color.
The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software
application. The software application's Help section should provide instructions for modifying an object's color.

Color Correction
may be necessary to utilize the selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Which Color Samples pages to use for a particular color matching problem depends upon the Color Correction
setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how the
color of the object is specified in the software application (RGB or CMYK combinations). The following table
identifies which Color Samples pages to use:
