PANTONE color Mismatch - Please Help!

Hi all

I'm sure this is an old topic, but I'm pulling out my hair at this time to try to understand why a color marked as Pantone Orange 021 C poster completely differently in the two files.

Basically, I was sent a swatch source file to work from (in the form of a PDF document with coloured boxes and their Pantone code written on them), but when I copy and paste a color into my new file or select it from the swatches Pantone, color is completely different and in-depth has different LAB and CMYK colors to the original file.

I see that my new file displays the color as a color of paper, in which case the source PDF displays colors in CMYK... that means that my source file was made using the non-Pantone book more color?

If so, could someone please suggest how I could copy and paste these colors in my new files using the original CMYK values? Essentially, it is important that I keep the colors in my new compatible with the source PDF file - tips on how to do this would be greatly appreciated...

P.S. I use Illustrator CC and made sure that I work in the same evidence in place.

Thank you very much

Yes, your source file was made with old books of color Pantone containing simulation CMYK values.

Since the CS6 these CMYK values are no longer present in the Pantone libraries +, but Lab values are used to calculate the closest possible CMYK simulation based on your color settings.

Lab values for this color have not changed.

If you want to keep the old values CMYK, double click on the nuance in the swatches Panel in your old document and choose: Type color > color

  • How the color of a police of 2 different colors? Please help me :)

    How can we the font color with 2 colors in windows applications?
    I know that the windows fonts are colored in applications (such as messenger, MS word)... because the police are (colorless) originally... my question: is it possible to the color of the font with 2 different colors? as the upper part of the letter A to be yellow and the Red lower part? or as describing the letter with a different color?
    and by the way, I don't want not something does not like using the WordArt in MS word... who uses images... I want a software to color the fonts we use in messenger/wordpad / any application under windows (customizable color pixel by pixel)... because the demand police colors... If anyone can help me with that? Thank you very much

    and please tell me if there is any software that can do that :)

    As I said, I doubt that there is no 'coloring software police' who will do what you want. However, contact one of the creators of fonts and see what they have to say. Certainly a person of professional fonts Foundry will know if it is possible to do what you want and if so, how. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Help to find the Pantone colors

    Hello

    I try to use Pantone colors and some of them do not appear when I type the number e.g. 2333 CP.  I'm going between different libraries, sex / non-couche, etc., and most of them see fine.

    I have about 40 colors to find / match because I use to create accurate models of clothes.  It seems to be of those who are 2XXX I have problems with. Does anyone know what is the problem?

    Thank you

    There is a Pantone iPhone app that includes 4 figures. A sample of the color (of modest value) comes with its Lab value (among others). By entering the value of laboratory in the Photoshop color picker, you can see and have precise color. Your 2333 C is 46, 1, 3. (It shows Lab to two decimal places. I rounded it)

  • How is the Pantone color chart more Series is not everything appears under the pantone + solid coated library? Some colors are missing...?

    In illustrator CC under the menu LIBRARY of NUANCES, under COLOR BOOKS, in PANTONE + COATING SOLID, I can not find the green color C 2290 or any green color of the series?

    These colors are available? What's wrong?

    PANTONE Color Manager does not 'automatically' Refresh libraries; on the contrary, it gives you access to libraries for export in your applications.

    The steps to do this are entirely documented within the system of online help installed with the software and accessible from the Help menu. You can find them on Page 11 y. Here's a brief description:

    1. If your target applications are open, close them.
    2. launch PANTONE Color Manager
    3. go on display/Fandeck, then select the library you want to export.*
    4. go to file/export/select your application/choose L * a * b * to print or sRGB for Web design *.
    5. the library is exported and is now accessible from your target application.

    * PANTONE Color Manager also allows you the flexibility to assemble and work with color palettes, or apply an output profile for your front of libraries/pallets for export, to provide management of the PANTONE colors for a particular device. Please refer to the 'Help' system for more details.

    * PANTONE + Color Bridge libraries must be exported in CMYK.

  • How can I change my design to a pantone color together?

    Can someone please help as how to change my document to be pantone 280C?

    If the identity of the brand should always be Pantone 280 logo should exist as such. Ideally, a logo should be designed in the expected color, in levels of gray and black & white. Are these are available in the original native format? Always lean towards the use of a vector image format if available.

    It is important to know how it is to be printed. My answer "1 - export a PDF ready press and your printer to print all in Pantone 280.» They print everything in shades of gray and run Pantone 280 " only works in traditional offset. If it is digital printing answer 2 applies.

    For a jpg file, open the image in Photoshop (or equivalent) and convert it to grayscale (giving it a unique name; save your original).

    In InDesign select the image with the direct Selection tool and apply the Pantone color chart.

  • How to script Illustrator to get a library of shades PANTONE color chart

    I've searched high and low, but can't find the answer to this question.  Quite simply, I need a script to convert all spot colors PANTONE an Illustrator file in the PANTONE BRIDGE book CMYK equivalents.

    To do this, however, it seems necessary for the script to search through the various books PANTONE swatch library color to find the one I'm looking for.  I have a string that I need, but I don't see how ExtendScript can perform a search in the libraries of different shades (or even just the a library - 'Coated + PANTONE Color Bridge (UN)'.  I can't just to watch the nuances that are in the main "Swatches" palette using Document.swatches.  Any ideas?

    I'm afraid that code gives me an "MRAP" error in the ESTK.  But, I actually found a way around the problem by using your original suggestion to have a separate file with all color swatches Pantone, added to this, then the script can enter this shade, grasp its getInternalColor, turn it into a CMYKColor, then assign the extracted values of getInternalColor of four properties of the colors of the new shade.

    Yes, it is a bit of a roundabout method and takes a lot of code, but it does the job quickly, and that's what I need.  Here is the code I have (the "workDoc" has already been assigned to the currently open document.):

    // To finish up, we delete the other two layers beyond the first and then save the file for use as digital printing file.
    // First, delete the two layers.
    workDoc.layers[2].locked = false;
    workDoc.layers[2].remove();
    workDoc.layers[1].locked = true;
    //          workDoc.layers[1].remove();
    
    // Before grouping and mirroring all of the artwork, it's time to convert all spot colors to process
    // using the PANTONE Bridge book as a reference.
    
    // First, let's open up the reference document that has all of the PANTONE Bridge book colors as swatches.
    var bridgeDoc = app.open(File("~/Documents/PantoneBridge.ai"));
    
    // Since attempting to colorize textFrame objects seems to crash Illustrator, we're best off just converting them all to paths anyway.
    var texts = workDoc.textFrames;
    for (var t = 0; t < texts.length; t++)
    {
              texts[t].createOutline();

                        if (thisRaster.channels > 1 && thisRaster.channels < 4 && thisRaster.colorizedGrayscale)
                        {
                                  if (/^PANTONE/.test(thisRaster.colorants[0]) && thisRaster.colorants[0] == colorName)
                                  {
                                            thisRaster.colorize(newColor);
                                            checkForTint = true;
                                  }
                        }
              }
    }
    // That concludes all of the color-changing steps.
    

    I hope this helps someone else who is faced with this (admittedly unusual) situation.

  • Pantone color question

    Hi, could someone help me with this please?  My printer wants me to pass the text I used in Illustrator to Pantone.  I use Illustrator 10 and am wondering how I would go about the passage of the police of CMYK to PMS.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    hrggroup,

    Assuming you have outline of direct Type, you can:

    (1) select the Type, and then click the color box at the bottom (left); should display you the current value of CMYK of the Type (filling) in the color palette;

    2) click window > libraries of shades > PANTONE according to what is relevant (you may need to ask the printer, which choose (perhaps lying/non-couche solid)); This should open the relevant game from the PANTONE color chart.

    3) click on the desired shade. This should now display in the color palette.

    This should change the color of the Type as you wish.

  • Conversion of pantone color mode to CMYK in Indesign CS3?

    I'm working on a business card for a client, I use Adobe Indesign CS3.

    I use the outside for the print job company called 4over (4over.com) and they require that you use their print CMYK pdf engine so that they can do the job properly... Basically it bring down: I'm in Indesign CS3, I chose to print and the printer choose their "4over pdf engine CMYK to print" so the colors do not convert and the color does not change when they use their printers.

    4over tells me that my document is in pantone color mode, they can see the pantone 371C color, but not the CMYK values.

    How to change color pantone in CMYK color mode mode?

    If anyone can help me please. I would really appreciate it.

    I have attached the file I sent to 4over snack for anyone to respond to my question.

    Thank you

    Brandon

    Before export, in the swatch Panel, choose your Pantone color, right click and select options for nuance. Change the type of color to the process and the color to CMYK mode.

    If it is a business card, and you have shown to the customer a pantone swatch, know that you will not get the same results of color. There is a very useful book of Pantone available that shows samples side by side with the CMYK values.

  • PANTONE color standard will not launch

    I have a ThinkPad W530 with color sensor and Pantone color standard. It has worked very well since I got the computer brand new for more than a year. Since last week, my color Stallion did not launch when I click on the notification "ThinkPad display must be postponed. I have the rotation icon, but it disappears after a few moments. I tried to do a restore and selected a time point before I think it happened. But the system refuses to return to this restore point, because he "can not find a file." What the? I have not deleted all files in system folders, I can't believe that one of my automatic updates has this screwed up. Of course, the message doesn't tell me what * kind * of file is missing.

    I am looking for a download and a re-installation of the program of Pantone color calibrator
    pantone_color_calibrator_setup_v1_2_0_6455.exe from this page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS015010.

    Hoping that will work, but someone else has experienced this problem? And that he turn out to be?

    I'll report the results of the re - install and thanks for any help pother.

    For some, the sensor and calibration software is really limited in functionality.

    Check this thread here for pointers on the issue:
