That assumes that all you want is primary colors. of course, but you
can also bring in any one of the PANTONE color swatches if you have
them in something like Illustrator and you want to specify a particular
ink to your printer. That means making sure you are working in CMYK
and not in RGB, and requires an understanding of the values used for
CMYK process colors. The process colors allow you to see a close
approximation of the PANTONE color even on a fairly low-cost InkJet.
(I am having good success with an HP psc 750xi. The upgraded drivers
in CUPS are wonderful.)<br>
<br>
If you want more, I can send an example of a \special that works.
After that you will need to create Illustrator EPS files to see what
the precise process color specification is for each swatch.<br>
