Colour printing aids
CMY colour samples	size 23k; author David Scott Ovation files which consist of two A4 pages of colour samples. These consist of small areas of solid colour each about 20x5mm in size covering all the combinations of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow from 0 to 100% in 20% steps, a total of 216 samples. When needing to match a colour for a specific printer setting, print out these test pages on that printer and choose the colour nearest to that desired, or make suitable adjustments when the colour is between two of the samples. Note that it is essential for the tests to be done with the same settings of printer resolution, dithering, paper quality, etc. as the actual work, since the reproduction of colours varies considerably with all these factors.
