Hello,
The office I am working has not got their Solid to Process book yet, we only have the 3 book set with solid colours.
Need to know what the CMYK equiv. for Pantone 405C is, its a darker grey colour. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

Weird, thats what the printed CMYK looks like?
I was hoping for a grey with a touch of warmth so that its a little brown when printed.

(looks brown on screen like the Pantone does in print, just worried how the CMYK looks in print)

i use 405 all the time.. both spot and CMYK... its warm, as the values suggest. don't know what that green comment is all about.

411 and 412 are more brown
412 being pretty dark chocolate

+ you'll notice in the formula book that the 405 card is all greys made with Pantone Black + white, no other inks.. that's why i like it = predictable.

Yeah thats what I was hoping for. I am working on a styleguide for a company that has very lax standards in place at the moment and they use this Pantone, and I want to make sure the CMYK equiv. that I specify is fairly close for the future.
Thanks folks!

the PMS Warm Grey range is also good.. 01-11 and uses red032 instead of the pinky rubine in the 412's.
WarmG 11 = 0,17,34,62

horton is right. i just checked a 405 digital print and it doesn't look green like the solid to process chip.

fuck if i'll ever learn all these color conversions.
i'll just email horton from now on and ask his advice.

Haha, horton seems to have that stuff down-pat.
Thanks for all the help/advice :)
