Colour printing> 64USING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURETo use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the ColourSwatch Utility. This is supplied on the CD-ROM that was suppliedwith your printer.The Colour Swatch function prints charts which contain a rangeof sample colours. Note that this is not the full range of coloursthat the printer can produce. Listed on each sample colour arethe corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This can beused to pick specific colours in applications that allow you tochoose your own RGB values. Simply click the Colour Swatchbutton (1) and choose from the options available.An example of using the colour swatch function:You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The stepsyou would follow are:1. Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red thatbest suits your needs.2. Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade thatyou liked.3. Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGBvalues, and change the logo to that colour.The RGB colour displayed on your monitor may not necessarilymatch what was printed on the colour swatch. If this is the case,it is probably due to the difference between how your monitorand printer reproduce colour. Here, it is unimportant since yourprimary objective is to print the required colour.1
