9.1 Matching Pantone Colors

Important Note:

PANTONE® to CMYK Bridge documents/files are available on the installation disc

in the Pantone Folder. These documents/files allow you to look up a Pantone Color number and find the

corresponding CMYK value to use in the file that will be printed on the CX1000. See below for more

explantation.

The CX1000 is a CMYK printer. This means any PANTONE® colors must be approximated using

CMYK color values. Most PANTONE colors can be approximated quite accurately using these

CMYK color values. Custom CMYK data has been developed for 1,137 colors from the PANTONE

solid coated color library of the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® for the optimal reproduction

on the CX1000. Under the Pantone folder on your installation disc you will find the following

folders/files to assist with this process:

1. Calibrated Look-up Table\

CX1000_Pantone_Swatches.pdf

- This document is a full color PDF

with over 1000 swatches of color. Below each color is the CMYK value and the corresponding

Pantone Color number.

2. Look Up Table Text\CX1000 Pantone.pdf - This is a text only (no swatches) version of the

document described above.

3. Application Support Files - This folder contains other folders for various application-specific,

ready-to-use palette files for a number of Macintosh and Windows® applications. The files

provided have been organized and formatted for Macintosh and Windows operating systems.

Each of these folders contains a collection of platform and application specific visually

calibrated palettes. There are folders by product name or software publisher to help you locate

the particular file you are seeking. These files allow you to match CMYK values to Pantone

values through the software program. This is an automatic method of doing exactly the same

manual matching procedure described in 1 and 2 above. Refer to your specific design program

manual for instructions on importing these palettes.

Note:

The white brightness factor and other properties of the label stock used can affect the output of color.

Instructions for matching Pantone

While the CX1000 utilizes a Pantone calibrated printer it is not capable of reproducing all Pantone

colors like a flexo press. Instead it is a CMYK digital laser press. As with any CMYK printer it is not

possible to produce exact Pantone colors. However it is possible to approximate the Pantone colors

using specific CMYK color values. The color values must be used when the labels are being

designed.

It is not possible to match Pantone colors when printing to the CX1000 using the same

image file that was used for another printer.

To match Pantone colors the image file must be

designed specifically for the the CX1000.

Once you have decided on the specific Pantone color you are going to match, record the Pantone

number. Now open the CX1000_Pantone_Swatches.pdf or the reference table, find the Pantone

number and the corresponding CMYK value. Use that value for this Pantone color in your design

program.

For example, if you intend to match Pantone 274C find that color in the reference table or the

CX1000_Pantone_Swatches.pdf . The resulting value would be C:95 M:100 Y:0 K:13

Note:

The CMYK values in the CX1000 Pantone Palette are not the same CMYK values in the Pantone Color

Bridge book purchased from Pantone.
