Pantone color with a 2x on the back side

I received a file from a client and it had a color called Pantone 130 2X CVC. Does anybody know what a 2X color is?

2X simply means that color gets printed twice (to increase saturation).

  • Pantone Colors with CMYK Colors?

    Dear all!
    I am LUCK. I am wondering about Pantone Colors with CMYK Colors. It's that I got 1 Pantone Color from my customer and then I changed it to the equivalent CMYK Color. Will I get different colors when changing from Pantone to CMYK because I will print with CMYK Printing Process? Anyway, I am wondering whether the Pantone color is the fix and specific color or not. I mean when I print the Pantone Color, I will get the same result as I print before. Is it right?
    Please help to explain to me whether Pantone Colors will keep their colors the same and stable or not. Or would you mind telling me what kind of colors that can produce the same color every time I print, especially for the Formal Uses?
    Sorry for being unaware of my knowledge here. Thanks a lot and best wishes to all!
    I am looking forward to hearing from you.
    My best regards,
    LUCK

    Pantone is a company, not a color. Pantone produces spot color inks, process color inks, and color references.
    Understand first: Five color printing ("process plus one") is not uncommon, because six-color presses are not uncommon. When a project is printed on a 6-head press, it does not dramatically affect the costs, because the job can still be printed in one pass. Brochures and other marketing collateral are often printed in 5 inks when a company specifies a spot color as its identity color. When done right, the company's identity specifications also provide a CMYK mix to use in lieu of its spot color(s) when restricted to only CMYK (as in magazine placement ads).
    So I'll assume your customer specified a Pantone spot color, and does not provide a preferred CMYK substitute, and your project is restricted to four color process (CMYK) printing.
    CMYK mixes do not exactly match spot color inks; they can only approximate. How closely they can approximate depends upon which spot color you are dealing with.
    Pantone provides its recommended CMYK values for approximating its spot color inks. That's why Illustrator provides a Pantone solid to process Swatch Library. But such lookups are recommendations; they are not absolute equivalents. There are many many colors in nature (and in spot ink pigment) which simply cannot be matched in CMYK. And any time you try to convert between color models (spot to CMYK, RGB to CMYK, etc.) you encounter ambiguities, because there are multiple algorithms that can be used to generate four values from fewer values.
    I often find Pantone's spot-to-process recommendations to be unsatisfactory, and use my own CMYK approximations instead. This is not necessarily due to any failure or shortcoming of the Pantone libraries, but just differences that exist in specific printing houses and workflows. The printing process is full of variables.
    Will I get different colors when changing from Pantone to CMYK
    Yes, the colors will be different. But whether the difference is noticable depends upon the specific spot ink you are trying to match. It also depends upon the specific use of the color. Fact is, human color perception is very adaptive. Colors that are "mathematically" equivilant according to some colorimetric algorithm are not necessarily perceived as equivilant by human eyes, because much depends upon environment (adjacent colors, etc.)
    You can refer to a printed process color reference against which you can compare a printed spot color swatch book and judge for yourself which CMYK values best approximate the spot color. Or, you  can set up simple test sheet of your own, and have it printed to determine a "best match" in a particular printing environment.
    All the above is just one reason why contract proofs are still important. If your customer is very picky about his spot color, then he needs to understand that converting it to CMYK is merely an approximation, and perfect matching is simply not possible. That's one reason why spot inks exist in the first place. If he is not willing to pay for five-color printing, then he will likely have to settle for a minor compromise.

  • Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  Any ideas?

    Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  I tried excluding different parts of the software from the back-up but it didn't make any difference.  I even tried exluding "invisible items" to no avail.  Any ideas?

    When you setup the wireless and ethernet in the computer.. ipv6 will be on automatic.. this is wrong for the latest TC firmware and airport utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    Go to the wireless and ethernet setup in preferences and change ipv6 to link local.
    Once you do the big backup by ethernet the wireless will function fine for incremental.. it is obviously not estimating the size correctly..
    A full back-up on the iMac would be about 650 GB.  The partial updates that I have been trying start out at 115MB and keep growing indefinitely.  The original back-up never finished nor have any of the follow-up attempts.
    The first estimate should be the full backup but it will keep growing as the backup advances.. I would also delete any inprogress files to make sure it is not messing up .. delete even a sparsebundle if there is one for the imac on the TC and start afresh once you have ethernet connection.
    See A10 here.
    Pondini may have some other clues there to give you an idea of why the backup is slow or not finishing.. there is a lot of issues with TM when it decides not to work.

  • I've bought leather case for iPhone 4 with a magnet clip situated on the back side just above the "apple" label. Can it interfere with any signals or made other damage?

    I've bought leather case for iPhone 4 with a magnet clip situated on the back side just above the "apple" label. Can it interfere with any signals or made other damage?

    I have been using a leather case with a magnetic clasp for months.  The only side effect is that I need to recalibrate the compass app when I use it.  This is really not a problem since I don't use the compass app very often.  I haven't encountered any other interference or problems.

  • Printing multiple files in duplex mode: second on the back side

    Hi,
    I am having a strange problem. I use Snow Leopard on a Mac Book Pro. Typically, I use
    duplex printing. This works fine. The only issue is: if I print two different documents and the back side is
    free after the first page, then the second document is started on the BACK SIDE of the first.
    This is of cause VERY annoying. I tried various options. Both in the print menu and using CUPS. They had no effect.
    This happens both at home (using a SAMSUNG CLP 550) and at work (through a windows printer server) to a Dell Multifunction printer.
    Now, I am basically out of options. Does anybody have a hint what this good be and how to repair duplex printing?
    Thanks
    Klaus

    Hi,
    thanks a lot for helping. It would be pity if this can not be corrected. After all this is no magic.
    (Regarding Windows: my printer at home is certainly not high-end...
    and the machine at the office was cheapest we could get from Dell with the functionality.
    But this is a side issue, as I want to go Mac only. - I am still running continuously a Windows-VM and
    I want to get rid of this. Would be a pain to do printing with Windows always.)
    Inserting pages is not possible for PDFs. - And this is actually a major part of my prints..
    Cheers

  • Printing LAST page in SAP script on the back side.

    Hi ,
    I have a problem with the printing of the LAST page on the reverse side of the form, when done with a vendor.
    At a time we print many vendors together.
    So, when done with printing of a vendor it needs  to print his address on last page, reverse side(address)
    Next will be followed by another vendor details.
    I cannot give 'D' for the first page because it would fail if the form flows more than 2 pages.
    is there any way of triggering the LAST page in SAP Script when it done with printing of one vendor.
    any help would be highly appreciated.
    regards.

    Hi ,
    In Script PO i have to print 'Terms and Conditions' text only on the back side of last page of the PO.
    Presently script contains THREE pages ( FIRST, NEXT, TERMS).
    FIRST with attributes :
    next page as NEXT , Print mode T.
    NEXT with attributes :
    next page as NEXT and print mode T
    TERMS with attributes :
    next page as ' '.
    I Created 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window.For TERMS page i selected 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window only.
    So page window of 'TERMS'  is 'TERMS AND CONDITION'  and i included standard text in 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window.
    If PO contains 9 pages( that means MAIN WINDOW data flows up to 9th page with footer also ).
    So i have to print standard text(Terms and conditions) back side of 9th page only not on all pages.
    So total PO contians 9 pages with 10 prints.
    Please help to solve the issue
    Thanks and Regards

  • Using Acrobat 9.5.5, I scanned a catalog in several segments, to merge later. How do I reverse the order of pages of the back side (odd) pages, and can I renumber each set as even numbers only and odd numbers only?

    I scanned a catalog for my archive - double sided pages of course.
    It was easy enough to scan the front pages first (odd numbers, 1-3-5) , in several sets of 30 pages, therefore several separate pdfs.
    Then I scanned the back side (even numbers 2-4-6) pages but in their natural reverse order, rather than manually reordering all 300 pages.
    Now I need to reorder the even pages which are naturally in reverse page number order (300-298-296...)
    and I need to renumber all of the pages as only odd or even numbers - set 1: pages 1-3-5-7... Set 2: 2-4-6-8...
    Then I can merge everything into one pdf.
    How can I reverse the page order?
    How can I renumber pages as only even or only odd numbers?
    Anyone have these solutions?  I don't use much of acrobats features, but it seems to be a pretty basic demand to be included. I can't find any clue in the software menus or online help.

    You can do such ordering with JavaScript. There is a recent post with a JavaScript for dealing with another aspect of page order that might provide what you want. You will have to search the forum for the post that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago as I recall.

  • When I talk the back side of the i5 is hot

    When I talk the back side is hot

    The battery takes up about half of the space of the iphone as you can see.  (its the long black partion marked Li-ion).  It is normal for the iphone to get hot especially during stranious tasks such as a phone call.  If the heat is persistant and you believe it is a problem take it in to the apple store.  They will most likely tell you the exact same thing i'm telling you.  Hope I helped!

  • How do I replace 2 pantone colors with 2 new pantone colors globally? I have a 2 PMS logo with many tint variations in it . When I replace PMS in Swatches pallette. The logo does not globally replace the selected color. es

    I have a 2-PMS color logo with many tints in it of the 2 colors. When I replace the  swatches in the logo to new colors, they convert from Book Color to CMYK. Can the printer work with that? How can I kee it a 2-color separation?
    MaryFl

    This is what I understand. You have a logo in a document that uses PMS 'A' and PMS 'B' colors and you want to change to colors PMS 'C' and PMS 'D'. If this is correct there are different ways to do this, but here is a traditional way:
    Make sure Select Same Tint is turned OFF in the Preferences. And all objects are unlocked in the document.
    Get the two PMS (C and D) in the document's Swatches Panel.
    Select PMS 'A' and bring the 'Fill' box in focus.
    From the Select menu choose Same > Fill Color.
    Click on PMS 'C' in Swatches panel to replace all PMS 'A' fills with PMS 'C'.
    Deselect all.
    Again select PMS 'A' and this time bring 'Stroke' box in focus.
    From the Select menu choose Same > Stroke Color.
    Click on PMS 'C' in Swatches panel to replace all PMS 'A' strokes with PMS 'C'.
    Deselect all.
    Similarly using the same approach replace PMS 'B' wit PMS 'D'.
    If you have CS3 / CS4 and the PMS colors in the logo are easily identifiable, you can use Live Color to change the colors pretty easily.
    Hope this helps!
    - Neeraj
    New Note: If there are gradients / blends that use these PMS colors the above approach would not work, but Live Color can.

  • Issue with Safari and using the back arrow with multiple tabs open

    I open multiple tabs in Safari but when I'm in a tab browsing and I hit the back arrow, in the new version of Safari, it doesn't just go back to the previous page in the tab, it completely backs out of all the tabs. What am I doing wrong?
    I have a PC running Win 7 and the lastest version of Safari.  I launch Safari which opens to my home page (CNN). I then go the News on my menu bar and select Open in Tabs - then tabs for 6 news sites open up. However if I go to one of the tabs and start navigating around the sight and I want to back up a page I click the back arrow like I have always done in previous versions of Safari but instead of backing up 1 page in the tab I'm in, it collapses all the tabs and I'm back with only the CNN tab still open. Its frustrating not being able to backup on page and I can figure out what's going on. I've use Safari for sometime now but only this version is giving me this problem. I tried resetting and reinstalling Safari but still get the same problem.  Any ideas? Its like I'm backing out of tabs instead of pages.

    Thanks for your quick response.
    1) I have the Block Pop UP windows option turned off
    2) I switched Safari to 32 -bit mode and rebooted my iMac but I still can't get the CBS videos to run
    The exact message I get in the Hulu or CBS box is:
    The video you have requested is either unavailable or is being blocked by an ad blocker installed in your browser.
    I have the same problem with the Safari, Firefox and Opera (all are the latest versions.

  • Indesign CS4 Pantone color book, Solid Coated giving the wrong color

    I am trying to add a Panton color to my swatches panel. Under Swatches I am selecting "New Color Swatch -> Color Type: Spot ->Color Mode: Solid Coated". What happens next is get a box where I can type the Pantone number I would like ... to the left of this box it reads "Pantone DS". So all of the color choices I might make are not for "Solid Coated" but rather for "DS". I have no idea what "DS" is and it is not what I selected. I selected "Solid Coated". Once again, I am using Indesign CS4 on a Mac Pro ... still running OS 10.4. Can someone please assist me?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your response. I have checked the pulldown menu several times. I have checked again as of reading your response. It seems that no matter what Pantone choice I select under the Color mode I get your second window that you posted. On top of that, I have captured the window that comes up when I initially start the add new color swatch .... it looks like this ....
    Please notice that the Pantone DS is already beside where you would key in the Pantone number, even though the color mode I am in is CMYK. This does not change when I switch to Spot as shown below.
    So I do not believe there is something flawed about my method. It seems as if the Pantone Color Book information is missing for everything else other than the Process Coated.
