Question
Hi Richard,
I would like to print out the swatch library on my HP printer. How can I do this?
thanks!
Thea
You could make a whole bunch of shapes and then fill each one with a colour from a selected swatch library. Then print that.
Of course none of the colours will come out looking like their source Pantone colours, so if you are doing this as some way of creating a book of pantone colours, it will not be accurate.
If you do want a book of real pantone colours you will have to buy a real pantone colour book.

| Comment | thanks for your reply. I do have a Pantone book, but am noticing that the colors are printing incorrectly from my printer - so it is really a printer issue. Thought the most logical work around would be to print the chips and select from those instead. What I was hoping to do was to print the swatch library directly from the swatch box, so I would not have to create 1000 + swatches on my screen. | ||
