    not four times the price (well...maybe). Pantone black is not going to be different than 100% K unless you use one of those special blacks and have solid areas. What are you trying to achieve, why are you asking this?

    • not true, a Pantone black can be much richer than 100K.inkpink
    • It's also not as neutral in color for halftones and tints. Can take on a yellow cast whereas the process black is cooler.Josev
    • So technically you're correct, but it would be nice to know what the person is trying to achieve before advising.Josev
