cant choose Pantone color
I have text on my form that i want Reflex Blue. I highlight the text, go to
font color, choose Pantone, pick reflex blue, and the font turns blue. When i print or convert to PDF, it seems to convert to CMYK which i dont want. I dont know whats going on. Im using publisher 2003 |

Pantone is CMYK, so I'd kinda expect that...no?

recently heard to utter: Pantone is CMYK, so I'd kinda expect that...no? No it isn't... Pantone is specialist spot colours (many of which can't even be decently approximated by CMYK colours). -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |

Pantone's not CMYK? Now I'm confused.

Rob Giordano (Crash) was very
recently heard to utter: reflex blue: c:100 m:73 y:0 k:2 That's a process colour equivalent. If you choose Pantone spot colours and export them as such, they will actually use a pre-made Pantone ink in exactly that colour. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |

But if you're dealing with ink aren't you always in CMYK workspace (or
should be) and Pantone is spot color ink right? So, why shouldn't Pantone Reflex Blue want to be converted to CMYK in a PDF intended for print ? I don't even know what I mean now...sheesh. I'll have to ask my bro.

So, why shouldn't Pantone Reflex Blue want to be converted to CMYK in a PDF intended for print ? If you're working for DESKTOP print, then you should work in the RGB colour space - when you print in Windows, everything gets converted to RGB to send to the printer driver, which then converts it to CMYK. If you're working for COMMERCIAL print (which is what I was assuming), then you work in CMYK + Spots, or just spots. The printer uses the spots instead of or in addition to the process colours on the press. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |

Generally I use desktop print if I'm bringing it to Kinkos, if I'm my bro is
doing the printing with real inky stuff I work with commercial print.
