1. What is the difference and connection between PANTONE 256 C and PANTONE 256 U, PANTONE 256 M or PANTONE 256 matte?
A: They all represent the same spot color ink, PANTONE 256, which is the only one that is PANTONE 256. The difference: the tail number is "C": PANTONE 256 C indicates the effect of printing PANTONE 256 on glossy coated paper. The corresponding standard should be the spot color guide color card coated with glossy coated paper; and so on. PANTONE 256 U indicates the effect of printing PANTONE 256 on offset or specialty paper. The corresponding standard should be uncoated color spot guide color card; PANTONE 256 M or PANTONE 256 matte are the same, both indicate PANTONE 256 is printed on matt coated paper, and the corresponding standard should be the spot color guide color card for matte.
2. What is the difference between using a four-color ink, CMYK, PANTONE spot color, and direct use of PANTONE standard spot color ink?
A: CMYK is overprinted by up to four inks in dot form; the use of spot color ink is printed by a flat ink (solid color printing, 100% dot). For the above reasons, the former is obviously gray and not bright; the latter is bright and bright. Because the spot color printing is solid color printing and is specified as a true spot color, CMYK printing spot color can only be called: analog spot color, which can be seen with the same spot color: such as PANTONE 256 C, the hue is definitely different. of. Therefore, their standard is two standards, please refer to "Pantone Solid To Process Guide-Coated". If you use the CNYK printed spot color, please refer to the analog version as the standard.
3. What is the coordination relationship between “special color ink” in the whole process of design and printing?
A: This question is mainly for print designers. Usually the designer only considers whether the design itself is perfect, and ignores whether the printing process can achieve the perfection of your work. The design process communicates with the printing house with little or no communication, making your work a lot less. Similarly, there may be fewer considerations for spot color inks, or no consideration at all. To give an example of such problems, you can use one to the other to understand their intentions. For example: A designer designed a poster poster, using PANTONE spot color: PANTONE356, part of which is standard spot color printing is the field (100% dot) printing, and the other part needs to be screen printing, 90% of the outlets. They are all printed with PANTONE356. In the printing process, if the spot color part of the field meets the standard required by the PANTONE spot color guide, the hanging part will be “blurred”. On the contrary, the part of the net is reduced, and the spot color is shallow. Go to the PANTONE356 spot color guide standard.
Therefore, the designer must consider or should know the blind spots in the solid color printing and the hanging net printing in the design process, and avoid the value of the blind spot design hanging net. Refer to: Pantone Tims-Coated/Uncoated Guide. The value of the hanging net should conform to the PANTONE hanging net numerical standard (.pdf). Or based on your experience, those values of the network can hang those that can not. Maybe you will ask, is this contradiction phenomenon not the performance of the printing press, or the technology of the operator is not working, or the operation method is wrong, which requires communication with the printing factory beforehand to understand the highest performance of the printing machine, the level of the operator, etc. Wait. One principle: to make your work perfect through printing, try to avoid the process that can't be printed, and realize your creativity perfectly. The above examples are not necessarily appropriate, just to illustrate the designer's design should consider the use of spot color ink, communication problems with the printer.
4. What is the difference and connection between modern ink color matching technology and international standard PANTONE standard?
A: The same point: the two are the same computer color; the difference: the modern ink color matching technology is the ink formula of the known color sample coloring; PANTONE standard color matching is the known ink formula coloring sample. Q: If the PANTONE standard formula is better than the PANTONE standard color matching method with the modern ink color matching technology, the answer is: If you have a PANTONE standard formula, why not go to a recipe, it is definitely not as good as the original formula. Another difference: modern ink color matching technology can be equipped with any spot color, PANTONE standard color matching is limited to PANTONE standard spot color. PANTONE spot colors are not recommended with modern color matching technology.
