Difference in Pantone Seperation in CS4 to what is in Pantone Colour Bridge

I have found that when seperating Pantone Spot Colours in CS4, Illustrator brings up differenet CMYK values than are shown in my Pantone Colour Bridge Swatch book. Any one else have this issue and know why this happens?

And a big bright light blud jst went on over my head! DOH!
It would help if I had reaslsie that I've opened the wrong colour book...
Have opened the Solid Coasted Swatch, rather from the Euro Coasted Colour Bridge. Aw well I guess we al have our moments

  • Creative Suite 1 and Pantone Colour Bridge

    I've recently bought the Pantone Colour Bridge Fan Deck, registered it and installed the Colour Manager download. Im currently running Creative Suite 1 and a Mac OS X 10.6.8 - except when I export the Pantone colour bridge swatch library and try to open the swatch library in any of my applications I get a error message.
    Indesign gives me a pop box that says...
    "Cannot create swatch library. There are no swatches in the file "Mactintosh HD:Applications:Adobe InDesign CS:Presets:Swatch Libraries PANTONE+Colour Bridge Coated.acb"
    Illustrator gives me a pop box that says...
    "The file "PANTONE+ Color Bridg#5DBDB7.acb" is in an unknown format and its styles cannot be imported"
    I have tried the "ase" format file too, and that gave me the same result.
    Can some one please help me out with this. Is it just that my Creative Suite 1 is just too old and not compatible?
    Many thanks

  • PMS swatch converted to CMYK does not match colour values of Pantone Colour Book

    I am working in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6.
    When I create a swatch using Pantone colour books (solid coated) and then convert the swatch to CMYK the values differ between programs and also differ to my hard copy of Pantone Colour Bridge.
    I have followed the Workaround 1 on http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html#main-pars_text_11 which was helpful - now the CMYK values produced in Illustrator and InDesign match HOWEVER they still differ from my hard copy of Pantone Colour Bridge.
    I copied the leagacy files from CS4 - is it possible the CMYK values embedded in these files are out of date or is it possible that the CMYK values in the Colour Bridge book have since changed?

    Pantone has updated their CMYK match values for PMS colors over time, and so has Adobe.  Adobe and pantone have their own values or matches, so they have never matched.
    The values between CS6 Illustrator and InDesign should have matched (atleast the files are named exactly the same), so not sure going back to CS4 swatches wasa a good move for you, unless you have a load of older files you are trying to match.
    The biggest differences between updates to the swatch colors you will see in tradeoffs between CMY & K.
    If you want your CMYK matches for PMS colors to match your bridge book, you may have to manually make a color book .ase file yourself, or try downloading the pantone color manager. Pantone has made this a complicated, multistep process relying on registering a product. Pantone has a history of failed digital products, and using bait & swtich tactics, so do not trust anything they have to offer anymore, but they were in the right place at the right time and exist as the standard for spot color in the US & some other countries.

  • After developing my picture when I go to library to export my picture there is a difference in the picture, it's not what I want it to be like, it's not what I have made it into, why ?

    After developing my picture when I go to library to export my picture there is a difference in the picture, it's not what I want it to be like, it's not what I have made it into, why ?

    Sometimes it takes a little time for the Library thumbnails to be updated with the changes from the Develop module.  If you flip back to the Develop module and the changes are still listed in the history tab, I would just give the Library module a little more time to update.
    While waiting, you could export one or two images just to make sure the edits are properly recorded.

  • Pantone+ Color Bridge Coated vs Pantone+ Solid Coated

    In Illustrator CC-2014, why is there a difference in a solid colour for example PMS 123 when one is used from the Pantone+ Color Bridge Coated and the other from the Pantone+ Solid Coated Library.

    The reason for the discrepancy is my last results was that while the Working Colour Space was changed from SWOP to SheetFed, it was over looked that the assigned profile remained to that of SWOP. In the screen shots below Working Colour Space and Assigned Profile are set the same. Printed results closely reflect to what I see on screen with the SheetFed Profile producing a better match in my opinion. Cheers

  • Pantone Color Bridge swatches?

    For my projects I need to work in CMYK with process colors. Today, after looking at my Pantone color guide book here in my office I found a color I wanted to use for a client's project. Next I selected the swatches palette to display Pantone process uncoated colors. To my confusion the color I wanted to use (PMS PC 633) was not in the list of Pantone Process Uncoated color swatches.
    I went back to the swatch palette to view the Swatch Library > Color Books list. I see some other options:
    Pantone color bridge CMYK EC
    Pantone color bridge CMYK PC
    Pantone color bridge CMYK UP
    Does anyone know what these are? I do see my PMS 633 in the UP list. But I'm not sure what the difference is between these libraries and the Pantone process uncoated, or between these three (EC, PC and UP). Does anybody out there know what these libraries are for and if I can safely use them? Thanks.

    Sorry for posting before Googling the topic. Found this:

  • Illustrator with pantone colour can't show up

    I am make some graphic in the Adobe Illustrator CC. I use the graphic with pantone colour and after that i save in the PDF.
    Pdf files made in Illustrator have a problem being displayed on mac computers during the preview when the colors are Pantone colors and will show up as black and white.
    I don't know what's the problem...

    I have attached a screen shot of what I am referring to. The second one is the box that pops up after clicking on Enter/Submit on a Company page for Contests or even connect to Facebook through any website.

  • Pantone colours in Illustrator have changed

    I've opened an old packaging artwork in CC that was originally created in Illustrator CS5 and made design amends. All looks OK, everything behaving as it should.
    I then copied and pasted the same artwork into a brand new CC document (as I needed to create a new artwork whilst using the same elements) and the Pantone colours all look much paler. Why is this?
    Both document set ups are the same and both set up as CMYK not RGB.
    If I paste back the elements from the new artwork to the old, the colours look OK again.
    If I convert the Pantones to CMYK the values are different. I can't use CMYK colours as the job needs to be printed as Pantones.

    Peter,
    The Pantone to CMYK values (CMYK representations issued/published by Pantone) have changed a few times over the years. What you see on your monitor reflects the CMYK values.
    The Pantone inks themselves have not changed.
    So you can keep printing as you did, and hopefully live with the changes in on screen appearance.
    You may use the same libraries to have things look the same.

  • Pantone Color Bridge vs Photoshop

    Hello,
    I'm curious why my Pantone Color Bridge is giving me different information than Photoshop CS4 for PMS 549.  I am in the process of creating a style guide for a client of mine, and he requested the spot, process, RGB and HTML color codes.
    Pantone Color Bridge says:
    PMS 549C
    RGB 94/156/174
    CMYK 59/8/9/19
    HTML 5E9CAE
    Photoshop says:
    PMS 549C
    RGB 94/156/174
    CMYK 65/26/26/1
    HTML 5e9cae
    The 65/26/26/1 looks a lot closer on the screen (I know, I know...) Does anyone know why the anomaly?

    A quick bit of testing shows that your Photoshop setting for CMYK is USWebCoatedSWOPv2 - a pretty good middle-of-the-road profile.
    The build from Color Bridge is using a very heavy black generation - probably a lowest-common-denominator approach Pantone uses to give the most consistent color in the face of inevitable press drift in most assuredly unknown press conditions. A crapshoot.
    The actual color that comes off a press from a given CMYK build is very dependent upon paper and press conditions.
    Tread lightly here when recommending a CMYK build to your client. Include a BIG caveat.

  • Using Pantone Colour as Effects in Illustrator CS5

    Hello.
    I have create a swoosh for a clients logo and to cut down on production cost I have created a two colour option (pantone).
    The design is using the following effects Drop Shadow, Outer Glow & Feathering. To maintain the brand colours I have select the a pantone colour as an  effects fill colour.
    But when I do an "Output Preview" in acrobat I can see that the Illustrator effects has turn the pantone in to proccess colours. Can some one adivce how to work around this issues?
    Kind Regards
    Nick

    Thanks for your quick reply, I have uploaded screen shot showing the process I used to apply the effect.
    Also I have uploaded a screen shot showing "seperates preview"
    The screen shot below shows the CMYK plate turned off, where you can clears see the shadow and feathering and glow disappears.
    Do you know whats causing this?

  • Pantone Colours displaying differently

    I am working on a document in InDesign CS5.5, where the Pantone colour used is 7461C (our corporate colour). I have a vector EPS image of some circles that was created before I started, which was a slightly incorrect shade of blue - when it was printed professionally you could see a difference. I've changed the blue of the circles using Illustrator CS6, so that it is also 7461C.
    I've just added the circles into the InDesign file and put them next to a box that is 7461C and noticed a slight shade variation (please se image below). I took a screen shot, pasted this into Photoshop CS5.1 to check the colours and the circles are displaying as 7461C, but the actual blue bar is displaying as 2925C, even though both have been set up as the Pantone 7461C, rather than CMYK values or something else.
    Is anyone able to help please?

    First of all: Why are you using EPS? Don't! Use PDF/X-4 or AI instead.
    There is no need to open a placed file with a wrong spot color in InDesign. Open the ink manager and target the wrong spot color to the correct one.
    The appearance of a spot color on screen should not bother you as the printer will print it with the specific ink.
    Did you check the overprint preview and high quality display in InDesign?
    How does it look like, if you export to PDF/X-4?

  • No Pantone Colour Support

  • Pantone colours

    Hi All. I have an image which opens in illustrator and has an RGB preview.
    I need to print in CMYK, but when I convert the colours add strange percentages to the colour ie 17.65% etc.
    The image has a set colour Pantone in a separate sheet, but bares no resemblance to the breakdown colour.
    If I put the Pantone colour into Photoshop and Illustrator I get slightly different CMYK breakdowns.
    How do I know which program is giving me the correct breakdown and is there a quick way of linking everything up so we are singing off the same hymn sheet?
    For instance
    Pantone Hexachrome Black M in PS CS5 is C74/M58/Y58/B57
    Pantone Hexachrome Black M in iLL CS5 is C1/M1/Y/B100
    Have I set something up wrong?
    Thanks

    This is what you should be doing.
    The color settings in both programs should be the same.
    the origianl should be converted to cmyk and you should be adding the spot colors once you have converted the image to cmyk. I make a note here you should probably add the spot color in Illustrator. ( id not recall a reason why one would create a shape that requires a spot color that needed to be added to thte image itself the only reason I know that one would use a spot color within an image file is if the it was a monotone, duotone, tritone etc image.
    But that is besides the point
    you should have the image in CMYK mode once you decide to use it for print and then apply any spot colors to it. Bad idea to do this in RGB and the convert to CMYK.
    then you should of course make certain when placing it in Illustrator you are placing it in a CMYK Illustraotr document and make certain it has the same profile as the image. If the color settings are the same then it should be the case but double check.
    then things will be as they should be.
    But once you have a mismatched profile egtting things to match are not going to be easy so make sure from the start.
