Anyone else have issues with brand colors having piss poor CMYK options?
The brand color chosen is super nice and vibrant but CMYK falls on its face! Can't come up with anything even remotely close. What to do?
- I would suggest, instead of using the bridge, to choose a new CMYK color that resembles more to the Pantone you are trying to re-create.maquito
- Yeah, two people here have tried but it's still pretty off.. It's just one of those weird blue-greens that land right in the 50/50 zone.Mattjanz3n
- Oh, I know... some Pantones have that special tone that is very hard to match. Good luck!maquito
- Blues and greens are notorious for limitations in CMYK due to being built from only yellow and cyan.monospaced
- Add in the variables of printers and stock and you can end up pages away from what you're after!MrT
- Mattjanz3n where most of these experiments fail is that you need to use the proper color profile to get close to that color...sted
- sted is correct, I deal with Onyx & Versa RIPs daily. Depends more on the RIP to produce the color. send RGB using a CMYK profile to get even more variationimbecile
- not that it helps but I had the same problem with an old client, green is a nightmare. Only way I found around was to print it as a spot color.mattwrightgd
