automatic PANTONE® calibration
Hewlett-Packard printers use process color inks (cyan, magenta, yellow,
black, and on some machines, light cyan and light magenta) to print color
images. The
gamut of colors that these inks can print is different from that of
a computer monitor. It is also different from the gamut possible with many
spot colors and
PANTONE® spot color inks.
A special function in most Hewlett-Packard printers, called Automatic
PANTONE® Calibration, will substitute colors outside the gamut of CMYK inks
to print named PANTONE® spot colors when they are encountered in the
print data stream. This Automatic PANTONE® Calibration function allows
these special colors to be rendered with greater precision (relative to the real
PANTONE® spot color) than is possible within the gamut available with only
the process color inks.
Note that it is not possible to simulate all of the PANTONE® spot colors
precisely with a CMYK or extended CMYKcm ink gamut.
