    Ummm, I know how to select the Pantone colors in Illy. But, how do I handle the color management and the PDF settings so the stuff comes out of the printer in a good match?

    • ask your printer what color space they are using and set your accordinglyian00
    • he doesn't need to if he's using Pantone colors, just specify themmonospaced
    • in an ideal world.ian00
    • Pantone colors don't need to be color managed, ian00. Whoever told you that is an idiot.monospaced
    • i disagreeian00
    • i'm going with mono on this one, that was the point in the pantone color system....rodzilla
    • ian00, Pantone colors are not process, therefor they don't need to be color managed digitally. They are solid inks.monospaced
    • agreed, that was the point. does it work as well as it should? unfortunately not. otherwise press checks would not be necessary.ian00
    • ...not be necessary.ian00
    • The only thing that could change a Pantone color would be a weird substrate: aluminum, colored paper, etc...monospaced
    • ian00, you're WRONG, sorrymonospaced
    • monospaced, i respectfully disagree. the same spot color will look different one day to the next.ian00
    • that's not true, ian00, a Pantone color is the same every day, that's the freakin' POINT of themmonospaced
