Kyocera Document Solutions, one of the world's leading document solutions companies, offers Pantone Office: a unique 'add in' for Microsoft PowerPoint and Word. This cutting-edge solution allows seamless and accurate quality printing and provides a convenient way for business professionals to print Pantone colours. This affordable tool allows businesses to utilise the full palette of Pantone colours and improve the overall impact of their printed documents.

Typically, users blame the printer when the printed colour is not what they see on their screen. Pantone Office overcomes this problem and guarantees the best possible colour when printing with Kyocera devices.

Davy Khonzani, hardware product manager at Kyocera Documents Solutions South Africa commented: "Pantone colour referencing is known worldwide as the standard language for accurate colour communication but it is not recognised on Microsoft Office software, which makes it difficult to duplicate colours easily from the RGB system used in Word and PowerPoint. Pantone Office for Kyocera offers businesses access to the expert colour system that graphic professionals rely on. Now, all users have an easy way to select, communicate and accurately reproduce corporate logos or company colours out of Microsoft Office applications.

"A company's identity is often tied to the brand colour and getting it wrong dilutes impact. Correctly printing the colour of the logo is key to maintaining consistent messaging across all internal and external customer touch points. We can now confidently offer a colour management workflow that ensures colour integrity every time."

Benefits of Pantone Office

Pantone is the industry-leading standardised colour reproduction system and offers a comprehensive palette of spot colours. Transferring colours from RGB used on screens to the Pantone colour palette often leads to misrepresentation of the intended colour, making it difficult for users to design and print in accurate Pantone colours from their local device. Pantone Office provides an additional user interface for MS Word and PowerPoint enabling users to select Pantone colours directly by name or number and makes guessing the RGB values for a particular Pantone colour unnecessary.

Kyocera Pantone Office is available for both A3 and A4 Kyocera printers and multifunction (MFP) devices.
