Solving Print-Quality ProblemsPhaser® 6360 Color Laser Printer4-14Printed Colors Do Not Match Monitor ColorsProblemThe color produced by the printer looks different from the color that appears on the monitor.SolutionFor 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 MatchProblemThe colors printed on the document do not match the Phaser 6360 PANTONE color chart.SolutionTo match the document colors to the color chart:■ If the application software allows the user to select a printer PPD file for printing adocument, make sure the Phaser 6360 PPD is selected. The PANTONE colors in theprinter are calibrated for the printer’s default halftone; overriding the printer’s defaulthalftone will change the printer’s color reproduction. For more information about softwaresettings 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 matchingsoftware while matching PANTONE Colors can cause unpredictable color output. If youchoose to use a Color Management software, set the printer’s color correction to none, anddo not use the printer specific charts.■ To match PANTONE spot colors, select Properties, click the Color Options tab, selectAutomatic color correction, click the Advanced button, and then select the Spot Colorstab. For example, print documents using the None color correction if the PANTONE Colorchart was printed using none (the recommended setting). Also verify that the color’sCMYK values match the CMYK values on the chart.■ The printed PANTONE charts can fade over time or when exposed to sunlight. Check thecolor charts you printed against the PANTONE Color swatch book available fromPANTONE, Inc. You may need to re-print the chart, especially if it has been exposed tolight 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 thatis out of specification, or other supplies that are at the end of useful life, color adjustmentsmay not be able to get the printer to match PANTONE Colors.See also:Advanced Features Guide at www.xerox.com/office/6360supportDownloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
