Aplogies for a TJ.,.. some help needed
I'm having a spot of bother with pantones. I don't normally work with them (i usually work in CMYK).

If I'm using a Pantone colour, and I then use a transparency on it, does that craete a NEW pantone, or, as far as printers are concerned, is it the same pantone...?

Cheers

Ah
Well you can only improve on Head and Shoulders.

Anti-dandruff, my arse!

Yes, I believe it counts as the same
Just a percentage of it based on the transparency...


Does that make sense?

is it a gradient or just a flat transparency?

( Mighty Nibus who dares gins, Thu 10 Apr 2008, 13:31, archived)

Just a flat transparency, like a certain percentage tint
Now, can anyone tell me how I find out the Pantone colour from the CMYK vales?

I thought Illustrator did this, but the number it chugged out doesn't correspond to anything I can find...

tattyshop
though I spect you could do it in Illy too

get the colour picker, bung in the CMYK values down the right, click 'Color Libraries' and it'll match it (as close as) in whichever library you choose in the dropdown

No worries...
now I know that I can sort it myself.

Cheers!
