Installing Macintosh software
Installing the Color Reference files
Install the Color Reference files as described on page 6-9. The Installer places
these files into the Color Reference folder in the Colorwriter LSR folder. You can
keep them anywhere on your disk.
You can print these PostScript files from any system as you would any other
PostScript file, or download them using the Colorwriter LSR Downloader when
the Downloader is installed as described in this manual.
Using the Macintosh CMYK Color Reference
Download the CMYK Color Reference PostScript file to print CMYK color
patches to use as a reference for graphics applications that allow you to specify
color as CMYK values. By downloading these pages to your Colorwriter, you can
see how these CMYK patches print on your particular printer.
Using the Macintosh PANTONE Color Reference
You can download CMYK representations of PANTONE numbered color
swatches, both coated and uncoated, and use the pages as a reference to see how
these colors print on your particular Colorwriter printer. Each swatch is identified
by PANTONE number and its equivalent CMYK value (for example PANTONE
108 CHC C:0 M:10 Y: 98 K:0).
The file PANTONE C.ps prints swatches for the PANTONE coated library. The
file PANTONE U.ps prints swatches for the uncoated library.
Installing the Color Printer Profiles
Color Profiles can be used together with a color management system to manage
printer color output. Two types of printer profiles are provided for Macintosh
users:
•
Kodak Precision Transforms (Standard and Calibrated), to be used with
applications that have licensed the Kodak Color Management System (KCMS),
including Adobe PageMaker 6.0 and Adobe Photoshop 3.0.
You can select a precision transform for the Colorwriter when you print from
one of these applications.
