Questions about PANTONE and support with problems involving spot colours in printing and pre-press
- Which PANTONE colour corresponds to my sRGB or CMYK colour, and which AdobeRGB value corresponds to my PANTONE C or U colour?
- How accurately can my PANTONE colour be reproduced in a digital proof?
- Which CMYK value is the best in PSOCoatedV3 or any other CMYK colourspace for a specific PANTONE colour?
- Should I use different CMYK values for PANTONE conversion for coated and uncoated paper?
- My PANTONE colour looks very different in the proof or print than in the PANTONE colour fan. What could be the reason for this?
- I would like to compare different PANTONE colours and CMYK equivalents on a single sheet. What should I bear in mind?
- I only have an old colour chart and don't have the latest PANTONE colour fandeck or PANTONE Digital Master Library to hand. Is there perhaps a more suitable colour that I don't have in my chart?
- What exactly is the current formula for my PANTONE colour?
- Is it better to use a PANTONE colour for printing, or can I achieve a cheaper but identical or at least similar result with a CMYK variant?
Printing and proofing advice
- Which proof profile is best suited to my requirements?
- Have you received a PDF file but are unsure whether it is print-ready?
- Do you require a customised proof profile for recycled paper or newspaper printing on bright white paper?
- Has a print job gone wrong and you need someone who can provide expert support in troubleshooting pre-press issues?

PDF creation and conversion
- What settings should I use in Adobe InDesign when creating print-ready PDFs?

- Have you received a PDF file but are unsure whether it is print-ready?
- Which colours and colour spaces are actually contained in the PDF file supplied by the agency?
Colour conversion
- Would you like to easily convert a PDF file from coated to uncoated?
- You exported a PDF from Microsoft Office, but now the black text is suddenly in all CMYK colour channels.

High-precision colour samples

- You want to send your corporate design colours to all customers in a booklet so that they have a physical sample of your brand colours.
