Uncoated paper has no surface coating permitting maximum ink absorption into the paper. The same PANTONE color printed on coated and uncoated paper will have quite a different visual appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I find my Pantone code?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Select window > colour and swatches. Colour box reveals your pantone reference, for example: Pantone 2975C (C = coated, U = uncoated) If the colour box does not give you a pantone reference it will show a CMYK breakdown.

It allows you to convert to values for both print and digital. The print colors are going to be less bold than if you got a print-focused color guide but they will be more affordable to print.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I get Pantone colors?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Select New Color Swatch from the panel&#8217;s drop-down menu. In the New Color Swatch window, change the Color Type from Process to Spot. From the range of options in the Color Mode drop-down menu, choose the appropriate Pantone type. Let&#8217;s say we are planning to print on coated paper (as opposed to uncoated matte paper).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Pantone color for 2021?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, two independent colors that highlight how different elements come together to support one another, best express the mood for Pantone Color of the Year 2021.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I export a Pantone in Illustrator?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select the object(s) containing the process color(s).  <\/li>\n<li>Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork.  <\/li>\n<li>Choose your Pantone Color book and click on OK.<\/li>\n<li>The new Pantone swatches generated from the selected artwork are assigned to the artwork, and appear in the Swatches panel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is it better to use coated or uncoated Pantone?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re printing on something coated like poly tape, choosing a coated Pantone swatch will give you a more accurate representation of the final print. But if you&#8217;re printing on a kraft paper tape, that&#8217;s matte so you should choose an uncoated color.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is the difference between Pantone CMYK coated and solid coated?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Pantone CMYK swatches are a set of Process swatches developed by Pantone. The Pantone Solids (Coated or Uncoated) are the Spot colours you are most likely looking for to design your brand book.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To obtain the new libraries, download the installer for your operating system from the PANTONE website: http:\/\/www.pantone.com\/colors4adobe.
