    How do Pantone colors work at the printer? If I have a short run job to do and have client's PMS color but it's a small job and I'm sure I could get away with CMYK, is it more expensive to do Pantone or is it easy for any old printer?

    • if it's a small job it's almost guaranteed to be cheaper CMYK. with a pantone they'll need to sort-up the press before/after. whereas cmyk is always rolling.Gnash

    • printing 3 or 2 pantone colors should be cheaper than cmyk...depends on where you print it...talk to the printer. and the client (for cmyk instead of pantone)uan
    • Pantones are either in addition to CMYK, or a replacement for C, M, Y, or K. It's just a specific color ink.monospaced
