Excellent color control.
 
TekColor Dynamic Correction provides built-in color 
correction modes for simulating SWOP (Specifications for Web Offset 
Publications), SNAP profile (for creative work designed to print on 
 
newsprint), Commercial Press (matching commercial Matchprint
 
®
 
 proofs), 
and Euroscale Press (matching the 
 
Pantone Process Color System Guide, 
Euroscale
 
).  SWOP Press is a set of specifications for color separation films 
and color proofing used to ensure the consistency of printed colors between 
different publications.
With the Extended Features option, you get the 
 
PhaserMatch color profiler
 
which allows you to adjust printed colors for a specific press, paper, and ink, 
providing the greatest accuracy and consistency.  This feature is invaluable 
for graphics professionals who want full control of the color process. 
PhaserMatch software for the Macintosh and PC platforms provides a 
simple approach for creating and editing color profiles.  It is designed for the 
most demanding users who need to consistenly and accurately predict and 
control colors.  The profiles are created by adjusting dot gain, controlling 
density or color reproduction curves to simulate the color output of a 
particular press or other industry standard systems.
The printer software also includes the 
 
Color Control Strip
 
 feature, which 
allows you to check the consistency of printed colors between prints made 
on the same printer, as well as between prints made on more than one of the 
same type or model of printer.  When this option is selected in the printer 
driver, the printed page includes a band of colors along the bottom edge; the 
colors in this band reflect the currently selected color correction.
 
PANTONE
 
®
 
 support.
 
When you use the printer with software applications 
that support PANTONE Colors, the printer produces Pantone-approved 
process color simulations.  The software application provides the process 
color values used to approximate PANTONE Colors.  The Phaser 300X 
CD-ROM and diskettes include a sampler chart of process color values, 
which are optimized for the Phaser 300X.  You can also retrieve this
