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?

  • Why do Pantone colours look different in different CMYK documents? There's a colours setting or option I'm missing somewhere and I can't figure it out.

    I have two CMYK documents, both with Pantone 188 U, and they look completely different in each document. I don't even know what is going on let alone how to fix it. Please help.

    One thing I noticed is that the Pantone swatches added before I discovered this problem were added as 'spot color', whereas now they are added as 'book color'. I'm not sure what this means, or if it's relevant..
    Then they are from different versions.

  • Adobe Muse Displays Colours WAY differently than Web Browsers

    Hello, I did a live chat about this and he refered me to post here. I tried reinstalling Muse and reseting preferences but this didn't work. Colours displayed in Adobe Muse appear dirastically more vibrant than in all web browsers. It's not just subtle, It's a a fairly noticable difference and it makes it hard to design accuratly.
    Here is how the colours look in muse:
    And in the web browser:
    Thanks to all in advance!

    Hello,
    You can simply copy the URL (that is there in the browser's address bar when you preview in Browser from Muse) and paste it to any other browser's address bar, then hit enter to see how that looks in other browsers.

  • Same colors display differently between Illustrator and Photoshop

    Hi there,
    I would love to know why the same colors display differently between my Photoshop and Illustrator apps (CS3). For example, a logo will display much darker or more vividly in Illustrator than in Photoshop, same file, same colour values. My color settings are synchronized from Adobe Bridge to North American Pre Press 2. I've opened the logo file in RGB color mode, in both apps. It would be so helpful if both apps displayed the colours consistently.
    Any suggestions on how to do this would be wonderful!
    Thanks!
    Bobbie

    Hello Bobbie,
    I am using CS3 too and let me tell you that this Illustrator version is the worst ever. You best bet is to take the "Eye Drop" tool and select the Photoshop element to match the color.
    CS4 also have problems when handle placed items. Sadly I can tell you that CS2 is more reliable than CS3 and CS4.
    Not even if you use Pantone colors will match, Illustrator will change the colors making it impossible to match. "Adobe Quality"

  • 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.

  • Why do my pattern swatch colours print differently to rest of my artwork

    I have some 2 coluor artwork consisting of 2 x pantone colours purple and grey.
    Within the artwork is a stripe pattern swatch consisting of the same colours. On screen the colours are fine and I've checked all the colour settings and these are fine too.
    Why however when i print the artwork does the pattern print in a different colour???
    Please help as I'm going out of my mind with this one.!
    Anthony

    I am having exactly the same problem.
    The colours of a pattern fill print very differently when it is expanded.
    All the colours in the pattern swatch are CMYK. They look identical on screen when the pattern fill is expanded.
    When printed, the mustard yellow, the appley-lime green, and the purpley-grey look completely different.
    I'm using CS6 Illustrator, FOGRA39. I'm wondering if this is a printer issue maybe?
    This is really frustrating and very worrying as I use pattern swatches a lot, and colours need to stay the same as they are approved.
    I've found this thread and another one from 2010 with what sounds like the same issue (Pattern Swatch Colours) but neither have been resolved.
    Please help if you have any ideas!

  • 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 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.

  • Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer displaying font preview.

    I am using Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer showing all of them, just blank spaces where they would be...that is unless I put my cursor over it and I can then see the typeface. This is more of a nuisance than anything and didn't happen until I updates OS X to Yosemite. I currently am operating OS X  Yosemetie 10.10.2
    I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the font highlighted as the cursor is over it I can see the preview...but one I move the cursor it appears like all the others in the list and is blank.
    HELP!

    Solved using this previous users had the same issue; Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

  • Fost Displaying Differently in Different Browsers on Same Computer

    Why would a font display differently on the web page depending on the browser? If the font is installed on the computer (a Mac), isn't it available to all browsers?
    The specific problem I am having is with Palatino shadow. (The shadow is important, as it increases the contrast of the text against the image background.) The shadow shows up in Safari but not in Firefox.
    Why would this be?

    Firefox doesn't do shadows in the current version.

  • Pantone colour books missing in Illustrator CC 2014

    Hi,
    I am having an issue in Illustrator CC 2014 with a specific Pantone colour book.
    The 'Pantone 4-color process guide coated Euro' guide does not show up in the colour books menu. The Pantone colour reference numbers such as DE 35-1 C and DE 156-2 C do not appear in any of the colour books.
    Is my Pantone colour guide outdated, or am I missing something?
    Thank you!

    Never mind.  I finally just closed Illustrator and opened it back up, and TA-DA! It's back...just more weirdness from an Adobe product...I should have guessed so.

  • How to display different icon within WDA alv table base on row data ?

    Hi,
    is that possible to display different icon for every row within ALV table depending on the row data ?
    for instance if the status 'S' display ~Icon/SuccessMessage and 'E' display ~Icon/ErrorMessage ?
    because base on this code below i only can set 1 icon for the whole row data.
    LOOP AT lt_columns ASSIGNING <fs_column>.
        CASE <fs_column>-id.
          WHEN 'ICO'.
            CREATE OBJECT lr_caption.
               lr_caption->set_image_source( value = '~Icon/SuccessMessage').
               <fs_column>-r_column->set_cell_editor( lr_caption ).
        ENDCASE.
      ENDLOOP.
    Thank you in advance.
    Fernand

    Hello,
    Yes it is possible to display different images based on data.
    For that what you can do is create one attribute 'STATUS' of type string in context node which you are mapping to ALV.
    And fill that attribute with the path to image based on your requirement like for status 'S' set the attribute to ~Icon/SuccessMessage and if status is 'E', set it to ~Icon/ErrorMessage at runtime.
    Now in the settings for ALV use the following code:
    * Display icon in column seatsocc
      DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column,
            lr_image TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_image,
            lv_icon TYPE string.
      lr_column = lv_model->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'SEATSOCC' ).
      CREATE OBJECT lr_image.
      lr_image->SET_SOURCE_FIELDNAME( 'STATUS' ).
      lr_column->set_cell_editor( lr_image ).
    in the above code, column 'SEATSOCC' will be displayed as an icon.
    Sample code to fill the attribute 'STATUS'
    LOOP AT lt_flights INTO ls_flight.
        lv_seatsfree = ls_flight-seatsmax - ls_flight-seatsocc.
        IF lv_seatsfree = 0.
          ls_flight-status = 'ICON_RED_LIGHT'.
        ELSEIF lv_seatsfree <= 50.
          ls_flight-status = 'ICON_YELLOW_LIGHT'.
        ELSE.
          ls_flight-status = 'ICON_GREEN_LIGHT'.
        ENDIF.
        MODIFY lt_flights FROM ls_flight.
      ENDLOOP.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to display different Time Statement forms in ITS service PZ04

    Hi all,
    I am working on a underlyinge R/3 4.7 system and are working with standalone ITS and ESS 50.4. I am posting this question to find out if any of you has experience with my problem.
    The business wishes to use the ITS transation PZ04 standard and wish to be able to display different Time Statement forms in the transaction through customized variants for the report(RPTEDT00) that the PZ04 transaction executes. In the IMG it is posted that one variant has to be created called HRESS_TEDT00 and this works, but restricts the PZ04 transaction to always be called with this variant and therebye the same Time Statement form every time.
    I then by debugging found that the underlying ABAP code processed from SAP standard has a variable VARIANT that is hardcode to = HRESS_TEDT00.
    The question is: Is there anyway to setup the PZ04 transaction so that it can be dynamic decided which variant should be used, f.ex. from persons subarea from infotype 0001?
    Looking forward to here if anybody can help.
    Regards,
    Allan Brauer
