Solving Print-Quality Problems Printed Colors Do Not Match Monitor Colors Problem The color produced by the printer looks different from the color that appears on the monitor. Solution For more information about color matching between the monitor and the printed document, see the Advanced Features Guide at www.xerox.com/office/6360support. PANTONE Colors Do Not Match Problem The colors printed on the document do not match the Phaser 6360 PANTONE color chart. Solution To match the document colors to the color chart: ■ If the application software allows the user to select a printer PPD file for printing a document, make sure the Phaser 6360 PPD is selected. The PANTONE colors in the printer are calibrated for the printer's default halftone; overriding the printer's default halftone will change the printer's color reproduction. For more information about software settings for your applications, consult your application's user manual. ■ Turning off other color matching software, such as ColorSync or ICM color matching, when trying to match PANTONE Colors is recommended. Using other color matching software while matching PANTONE Colors can cause unpredictable color output. If you choose to use a Color Management software, set the printer's color correction to none, and do not use the printer specific charts. ■ To match PANTONE spot colors, select Properties, click the Color Options tab, select Automatic color correction, click the Advanced button, and then select the Spot Colors tab. For example, print documents using the None color correction if the PANTONE Color chart was printed using none (the recommended setting). Also verify that the color's CMYK values match the CMYK values on the chart. ■ The printed PANTONE charts can fade over time or when exposed to sunlight. Check the color charts you printed against the PANTONE Color swatch book available from PANTONE, Inc. You may need to re-print the chart, especially if it has been exposed to light for some time. Storing the charts in a dark place helps preserve the color. ■ Print a test page from your control panel to check the colors. If your printer has media that is out of specification, or other supplies that are at the end of useful life, color adjustments may not be able to get the printer to match PANTONE Colors.

PANTONE Colors Do Not Match
Problem
The colors printed on the document do not match the Phaser 6360 PANTONE color chart.
Solution
To match the document colors to the color chart:
■
If the application software allows the user to select a printer PPD file for printing a
document, make sure the Phaser 6360 PPD is selected. The PANTONE colors in the
printer are calibrated for the printer’s default halftone; overriding the printer’s default
halftone will change the printer’s color reproduction. For more information about software
settings for your applications, consult your application’s user manual.
■
Turning off other color matching software, such as ColorSync or ICM color matching,
when trying to match PANTONE Colors is recommended. Using other color matching
software while matching PANTONE Colors can cause unpredictable color output. If you
choose to use a Color Management software, set the printer’s color correction to none, and
do not use the printer specific charts.
■
To match PANTONE spot colors, select
Properties
, click the
Color Options
tab, select
Automatic
color correction, click the
Advanced
button, and then select the
Spot Colors
tab. For example, print documents using the
None
color correction if the PANTONE Color
chart was printed using none (the recommended setting). Also verify that the color’s
CMYK values match the CMYK values on the chart.
■
The printed PANTONE charts can fade over time or when exposed to sunlight. Check the
color charts you printed against the PANTONE Color swatch book available from
PANTONE, Inc. You may need to re-print the chart, especially if it has been exposed to
light for some time. Storing the charts in a dark place helps preserve the color.
■
Print a test page from your control panel to check the colors. If your printer has media that
is out of specification, or other supplies that are at the end of useful life, color adjustments
may not be able to get the printer to match PANTONE Colors.
