Crash course in Pantone
July 23, 2005 2:20 PM Subscribe
Can anyone here point me in the right direction for a crash course in screenprint ink mixing, ink formulas and Pantone color matching?
First tip: Don't confuse Process color with Spot color.
If you're using the color matching system you are using spot color. And while a spot color does have a specific CMYK value, it has a different numbering system than the Pantone process color system. Confused yet? Good. They have you right where they want you.
Here is a link to a page of PMS colors:

For a teeny bit more information, try this page:

Finally, if you would like to post some more specific questions, I'll try to get back and answer what I can.
