   • Color Chart Type-1
     • The colors in the library are categorized by saturation and arranged to vary in hue in the horizontal direction and in brightness in the vertical direction. To print this color chart in its original size, you need A1-size or larger media.

       

   • Color Chart Type-2
     • The colors in the library are categorized by color tone and a color wheel is printed for each tone. (Black colors are arranged linearly by brightness.) To print this color chart in its original size, you need A1-size or larger media.

       

   • Color Selector
     • Prints the ink combination chart. The chart shows the ink combination used for printing each spot color. Although each page is printed in A4 size, you can cut the pieces along the trimming marks and bind them in numeric order (outline numbers) to create a color sample book that can be used to compare the colors.

If you print the color chips on media with a backing paper using a printer with a cutting function, you can create color chip stickers by setting Operation Mode under Cutting Options to Print & Cut.
