Using Automatic PANTONE Calibration (the best choice)
In order to use Automatic PANTONE Calibration, you need an application that recognizes the
PANTONE colors, and a calibrated PostScript printer.
The Automatic PANTONE Calibration facility emulates PANTONE Solid Coated colors only (suffix
C). Other PANTONE colors will be printed using the CMYK values sent by the application.
Converting PANTONE colors manually
If you have a non–PostScript printer, or if you are using an application (such as Adobe...

There is another possible explanation for a clipped image. Some applications, such as Adobe
Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW, use an internal 16–bit coordinate system which
means that they cannot handle an image of more than 32,768 pixels. If you try to print an image
larger than this from these applications, the bottom of the image will be clipped. In this case, the only
way to print the whole image is to reduce the resolution so that the whole image requires fewer than
32,768 pixels. The...
