22-8 Working with Color in ApplicationsThe information printed by the PANTONE Coated Color Reference depends on theSpot Color Matching setting.• On—Prints swatches of the closest CMYK equivalents of PANTONE colors yourprinter can produce. The equivalent PANTONE color name/number is printedbelow each swatch.• Off—Prints swatches of the CMYK equivalents of PANTONE colors as definedby PANTONE. (These are the same CMYK values defined in applications thatinclude PANTONE libraries.) The CMYK values used to produce the color, as wellas the PANTONE color name/number, are printed below each swatch.To print the PANTONE Coated Color Reference, download the file to theColor Server. For the location of the file on the User Software CD, see the UserSoftware Installation Guide. If the default Spot Color Matching setting on theColor Server is not the setting you want to use for printing the PANTONE colors,download the file to the Hold queue. Then override the Spot Color Matching settingusing a job management utility, such as Command WorkStation (see the JobManagement Guide).Default output profileThe default output profile consists of both a profile for the printer supported by theColor Server and a calibration target that describes the expected behavior of theprinter. For more information on output profiles, see the Color Guide.In certain cases, you may want to customize the default output profile toachieve particular color effects (see the Color Guide). When you do so, the newcustomized output profile is applied to all data in the print job. You can also useColorWise Pro Tools to download your own output profile to the Color Server (seethe Color Guide). Downloaded output profiles are at first associated with the defaultcalibration target.CMYK simulationIf you use the Color Server to print proofs for an offset press job or simulate anotherprinter, choose the appropriate CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK SimulationMethod print option settings (see the Color Guide).
