I am having serious problems matching a color on my printer.... IT is the most annoying thing ever.....
I have an Epson 750 it has a black cartridge and 3 color cartridge.....
the dark and light purples at the top http://www.kleinfeldweddings.com…
these are the colors I need in CMYK .... although even when I just convert it over it prints out like absolute shit...
any suggestions???????????

Forget it. I've never matched a Pantone accurately on a normal printer.

Actually, If you use Photo glossy paper that's the closest i can get. It's usually one darker.

Oh I get it. Nah, hold your pantone book up to the screen and match by eye. That's what I recommend

A lot of it is your screen also. I work both on a '99 Powerbook G3 and an iBook G4 and the screens are very different. I would try to match a process color book to your screen to achieve an effect that is as close as possible. Good luck man.

I don't have a pantone book and they wont buy me any shit either..... could someone match the dark purple

Are you saying you just want a pantone equivalent for that dark purple? Just use photoshop.

No pantone book, test and test again on a sheet. Usually make it lighter though, some epsons tend to darken blues and purples.
Rock.

Purple is one of the hardest colors to work with.
Try PMS 527 uncoated (dark)
and PMS 529 uncoated (light)
Convert those into CMYK from illustrator.What you really need is a 4 color process book, instead of a Pantone book. Too bad I don't have one at home...
