How does "Pantone +CMYK" work?Is it actually Pantones? the swatches appear as CMYK,if i send a file using a swatch of "Pantone P 179-1" are they going to spot print that color? or what?goddamn pantone never making any sense.
>>463640Pantone is a company that literally just sells swatches - they have well defined colors and you can buy these swatches anywhere in the world. If order something in a specific pantone color from china, the manufacturer can buy a pantone swatch book, find the color, match it perfectly and send it to you. Is it waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced? Yes.It's basically a proprietary, for profit standard that everybody seems to have adopted.It's not smart, but designers seldom are
>>463685Yes..I know all that about pantone.I asked about the "Pantone+ CMYK" book.I need to know specifics about /this/ specific aspect of their nonsense. From someone who knows about /this/ Not the broad overview.
>>463699well pantone provides color mixing instructions too
