Figuring out the PMS colors

I have a logo that I would like to have made into a sticker by a printing company and they are offering either to print it with their 36 stock ink colors at no additional charge or with custom PMS ink matching for $30.00 per color.
1. How do you determine if the colors being used will work with the 36 colors they have available? Is there a way to do this?
2. How do I figure out what the PMS colors are for the ones in my logo?
Thanks!

1.) Most of the "sticker" print vendors will have their inhouse spot color ( like the 36 you mentioned ). But, your standard logo has only 2-3 colors ( i.e., FedEx, UPS, Xerox, IBM, etc., etc. ). If however, your logo uses more than 3 and they are process color builds, then color matching may depend on their ability to match a specific Pantone Spot color ( which they are charging $30. for a custom ink mix ). If your logo is constructed using 4c process inks, they may be better off printing your logo using 4 process colors ( C-M-Y-K ).
They should have a color chart that shows the 36 colors available for no charge. You should print your logo and try to visually match your color to their color. For instance, to simplify it, lets say your logo consists of two colors similar to a MasterCard logo of Red + Orange. Just a hypothetical. You could go to your local printer and have a hard copy proof printed and then it's just a matter of matching your Red to one of their Reds, your Orange to one of their Oranges. If you can't access their 36 colors, it will make this process much harder and/or they may not have a Red or Orange that is close to your Red and Orange. Then, they will have to use a custom mix ( $$$ ).
2.) You could find the pantone Spot color match from your local printer. Some of them have special lightboxes where they can visually match your Red + Orange to specific Pantone Spot color swatch book. You should be there to help find the color you think matches the closest. You could also contact the originator of your logo file and see if they have the colors. There is a way to find the Spot color using Photoshop if you have it available.

    LambChops1,
    I’m using Mavericks, and it’s still possible to select text to drag and for cutting and pasting. Left-clicking and right-clicking is still possible, too.
    Try opening the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, and select the Point & Click tab. To right-click, ensure that your “Secondary click” checkbox has been checked; the small print under “Secondary click” is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the form of right-clicking that you prefer. (For instance, mine is set to “Click in bottom right corner”.) For left-clicking, is your “Tap to click” checkbox checked, or unchecked? (Mine is unchecked, since I prefer pushing for left-clicking over tapping to do so.)

  • I need help figuring out the best way to convert analogue video to DV so that I can edit it.

    I have a large number of VHS and hi8 tapes that I want to convert to high quality DV.
    I have a couple of options. One is an Elgado Video capture system.
    The other is a Sony Digital Media Converter Box (DVMC-DA2).
    I have tried a few of the less important tapes using the Elgado Video Capture system. It only allows you to convert to MPEG4 or H.268. It is not very good quality, especially for archival items or items I would later wish to edit.
    I also have the Sony Digital Media Converter Box. I have heard that this is a superior option. So far, though, I have only been able to figure out how to import using an old version of iMovie HD. This makes a large imovie project file (approximately 6.18GB for a 28:30 clip vs a 348.9MB for an MPEG4 using delgado.
    On top of that to convert the file from an iMovieProject file to DV is an additional step that so far looks like will take a half an hour at best.
    Is there any way for me to import VHS/hi8 tapes using the Digital Media Converter Box to creat high quality DV files directly? If so, where can I find this info? What steps should I take and what are the settings I should use.
    I have a lot of tapes so I want to figure out the right and most efficient way to do this because I will be repeating it a bunch of times and would hate to have to start over again.
    I should also mention that I am using a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.9.1
    I'm sorry in advance if this seems like an obvious question, but I have been googling and looking at tutorials on the site and just have not found the answer. There are a lot of ads for expensive low quality services to do this converting for you, so maybe the answer I am looking for is burried in all that advertising.
    Thanks

    Thanks Biggles and Gotz. I just couldint find capture, but now I can! (It was right under my nose too).
    I'm trying it now and it appears to be working. Do you have any other recommendations for capturing from hi8 video source as far as setting go? I am using DV to capture. Are there any other settings I should pay attention to?
    There is an extra line of video noise at the bottom, but when I google it, it sounds like it won't show on most standard tvs and if I want to fix it for online, that I should mask it after the fact vs scaling up the video.

  • Is there a way to figure out the name behind an Apple ID?

    Is there a way to figure out the name behind an Apple ID?  My oganization uses an iPad as a kiosk.  Somone accessed the iPad, changed the Apple ID associated with iTunes, downloaded a game and set a password to lock up the whole iPad.  We had to completely restore the iPad in order to access it.  When I tried to upload a new app, a different Apple ID popped up, and I'm assuming it was the person who locked the iPad and downloaded the game.  I would like to figure out who owns that account, just so we can not allow that person access to the iPads anymore.
    Is there a way to do this?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Perhaps with a court order because the person committed a criminal act. Otherwise it is doubtful that Apple would violate the privacy of a client/account holder just on your word.

  • Is there a way to dynamically figure out the FIRSTROW & LASTROW using Bulk Insert?

    I noticed most of my files follow a certain convention, so I can use Bulk Insert with this:
    FIRSTROW = 2, LASTROW = 224
    However a few files have many more records.  I'd like SQL Server to dynamically figure out the first and last rows with data, but I don't know if that's possible.  Can someone confirm?
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Nope, you would need read the files from some program. Could be a CLR stored procedure if you want to do it from SQL Server. But from BULK INSERT alone, no.

  • I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

    I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane...  Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
    Thanks so much!!

    I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
    Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
    Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
    Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

  • Unable to figure out the classnotfoundException

    Dear Members,
    I have an applet on which I want to show images. I have put .class and .html in the same directory and the images in the images directory.
    I'm usong Tomcat 5.5.4.
    Note: I have created certificates and also policy files for the applet.
    When I run the same code using eclipse, the code is working fine.
    And when I try to run in the browser its throwing the following Exceptions.
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: AdminApplet1$1
         at AdminApplet1.init(AdminApplet1.java:74)
         at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
         at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Where AdminApplet1 is my applet.
    Following is the code written in the .html
    <applet codebase="http://localhost:8080/project/"
            code="AdminApplet1"
            archive="SAdminApplet1.jar"
            height=400
            width=600 >
    </applet>where SAdminApplet1.jar is signed jar.
    I'm trying to figure out the problem since last 2 days. If you want more details about the problem please let me know.
    I have referred http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Security/Signed/
    for creating the certificates
    If you think I've gone wrong while creating the certificate then please show me a way.
    I'm looking forward for the helping hands.
    Thanks.

    Please put all the class files in the jar.
    Considor this example:
    import java.applet.*;
    public class test extends Applet {
         public void start() {
              System.out.println("this is start");
              try{
                   System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));
                   (new subTest()).printSomething();
              }catch(Exception e){
                   e.printStackTrace();
         public void init(){
              System.out.println("this is init");
         class subTest{
              void printSomething(){
                   System.out.println("something");
    }compiling with javac test.java gives me:
    test.class
    test$subTest.class
    When I remove test$subTest.class and open the applet with a html page I get:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test$subTest

  • I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts.  The genious bar could not figure out the problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

    My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts).  The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.  Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail.  I've heard this is a video codec problem.

  • Help! I figured out the problem - sort of.

    So I posted my problem two days ago. I found that only some of my pages were loading in Firefox 3. I didn't know why (see below for original posting).
    With a little experimenting, I have found that republishing the pages that "work" actually causes them to no longer work. I'm pretty sure I published these pages that worked with previous versions of iWeb. Now that I'm using the latest version of iWeb, any new pages (blogs) cannot be viewed by Firefox 3.
    Is there anyone out there with a work around? Solution? Anyone?
    HERE IS THE ORIGINAL POST:

    Here are links to my pages: the first link doesn't load in Firefox 3. The second link loads fine. I can't figure out the difference between the two pages. Any web gurus out there that can determine my problem? I really want people using firefox to be able to view my site.

  • IPhone SDK: API to figure out the keyboard height

    Is there an API to figure out the height of the keyboard? In one of the samples it was hardcoded to 150. Since the height is not the same in potrait and landscape mode i was wondering if there was a programmatic way to do this instead of hardcoding it in my app.
    Thanks.

    This changed (but isn't well documented) now.
    NOW you need something like:
    CGRect keyboardRect;
    CGPoint keyboardBegin;
    CGPoint keyboardEnd;
    \[\[\[notification userInfo\] objectForKey:UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey\] getValue:&keyboardRect\];
    \[\[\[notification userInfo\] objectForKey:UIKeyboardCenterBeginUserInfoKey\] getValue:&keyboardBegin\];
    \[\[\[notification userInfo\] objectForKey:UIKeyboardCenterEndUserInfoKey\] getValue:&keyboardEnd\];
