Info

Spot Colors (PANTONE ® ) • Select PANTONE colors by choosing them from the PANTONE color library. • Do not change the name of PANTONE colors (e.g., PANTONE 106C to Sunshine Yellow or to PANTONE 106C copy). • When PANTONE colors are desired, refer to a printed press sample provided by the print shop. • Be sure to specify the color as a [Spot] color. This will allow the digital press to provide the best spot color accuracy within the limitations of the printer. See Figures 3-4 and 3-5. Figure 3-4 Pantone 266 and 402 designated as Spot and Process colors Spot Process Spot Process • When you need to use CMYK values to match PANTONE colors, acquire them from the print shop. The values stored in the RIP will generally provide the closest matches to PANTONE colors since each printer gamut is unique. 50 Digital Printing Reference
Figure 3-5 QuarkXPress Edit Color Design Gray • Gray text, graphics and gradients will be best produced if they are created with K only in a CMYK working space. • Gray balance is dependant upon selections made at the printer. If you are creating gray colors with RGB or CMYK combinations, consult your print shop for the appropriate values needed to achieve good neutrals. Digital Printing Reference 51
