SING

THE

COLOUR

SWATCH

FEATURE

To use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the Colour

Swatch Utility. This is supplied on the CD-ROM that was supplied

with your printer.

The Colour Swatch function prints charts which contain a range

of sample colours. Note that this is not the full range of colours

that the printer can produce. Listed on each sample colour are

the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This can be

used to pick specific colours in applications that allow you to

choose your own RGB values. Simply click the Colour Swatch

button (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 steps

you would follow are:

1. Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that

best suits your needs.

2. Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that

you liked.

3. Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same

RGB values, and change the logo to that colour.

The RGB colour displayed on your monitor may not necessarily

match what was printed on the colour swatch. If this is the case,

it is probably due to the difference between how your monitor

and printer reproduce colour. Here, it is unimportant since your

primary objective is to print the required colour.
