- This is the Pantone Colors CFT for the DeskJet 500C printer.
-
- The colors in this CFT are essentially the same as in the CFT of Pantone
- Colors for coated paper. The two differences are that the values for each
- color in this file are set in the RGB palatte while in the original they
- are in the CYMK palatte. They have been changed in order to work with the
- DJ500C printer. It seem that at the moment, Calamus SL and this printer
- don't speak the same language when it comes to CYMK colors. Hopefully
- this will be cleared up in the not too distant future! In the meantime,
- this will allow you to work with your existing files.
-
- If you already have a CDK that uses the Pantone Colors:
-
- After loading your CDK, go to the Color Table dialog [5.1.6] and load
- in the file XPT1500C.CFT, when the next dialog appears click on
- 'MERGE'.
-
- After it merges (this takes a minute or so!) scrol through
- the list of colors and click on each and every of the original colors
- you had with your CDK. If a color is not in use DELETE it. If it is
- in used in the current document, another dialog box will appear
- asking you to choose a replacement color. For now, just click on
- continue and keep deleting all the 'not in use' colors.
-
- Calamus will not let you replace a CMYK palatte color with a RGB
- palatte color when DELETE'ing. First you'll need to go through one
- more step. Ready?
-
- When only the colors that are in use remain, click on each of them in
- turn and then click on the RGB button. Do this with all the 'in use
- colors'. Once this is done, you can again click on each of these 'in
- use colors' and click on DELETE, and now when the dialog box asking
- for a replacement color appears, select the same number or name
- Pantone Color from the new color table. All the new color names begin
- with the letter " X "....other wise the names and numbers are the
- same. This will make finding the substitute color pretty easy!
-
- Good luck...I hope this will save a few headaches 'till sumptin'
- betta cums along! %^)
