          Appeal No. 1998-0668                                                        
          Application 08/036,650                                                      

          specified grid percentage," but do not require these volumes                
          and percentages to be indicated on the color atlas.                         
               The kit also includes larger preprinted tint sheets                    
          identifiable with individual reference tints and with                       
          exactly the same tone as the corresponding reference tint.                  
          Phillips discloses that the appearance of color printwork                   
          varies appreciably with the quality of the surface on which                 
          the colors are printed and, so, the color atlas is printed                  
          on different types of surface (col 5, line 64 to col. 6,                    
          line 2).  Importantly, Phillips discloses that "the final                   
          colour printing is performed on the same selected surfaces                  
          as specified in the kit and using exactly the same specified                
          printing parameters" (col. 3, lines 29-32).  Therefore,                     
          Phillips teaches that the substrate for the color atlas and                 
          the image should be the same and that both the color atlas                  
          and the image should be printed under the same printing                     
          conditions.                                                                 
               The graphic artist selects the appropriate color atlas                 
          for the quality of paper to be printed (col. 6, lines 3-6).                 
          "Having identified the tints the artist then picks out                      
          corresponding sheets from the large preprinted tint sheets                  

                                       - 14 -
