Title: Re: PANTONE ColorCue
John,
This printing conditions specified in your emails, are those of the 2005 edition? are they the same for 2004 and 2005?
Given that you don't supply ICC profiles of your CMYK printing conditions, is there then a library in Lab or XYZ of the Pantone Process swatches? that would allow a customer to match the process guide within his own printing environment, be it normalized (ISO or Gracol or Swop) or his own house flavour...
Also: does the color of the Pantone Process Euro swatches match the color of the US swatches (thus resulting in different CMYK values), or does the CMYK values remain constant (thus resulting in a different color), or neither?
best regards,

Dear Ray:
At this time we do not have ICC profiles for the color space that the guides are produced to. Typically, users would profile their own presses, and apply those profiles as needed to reflect their actual printing environment.

Thank you John,
I appreciate this information very much.
Does PANTONE supply ICC profiles of the North American and European PANTONE color space so that the end user can separate images to this printing standard?
Thanks,
Ray

Dear Ray:
Please note that I monitor the ColorSync Users List regularly, and I have contributed from time to time when the need arises.
The PANTONE ColorCue provides RGB simulation values based on both the sRGB and Adobe 1998 RGB color spaces.
The CMYK data is based on the PANTONE solid to process guide coated. Thus, the values are based on the workflow, which is clearly outlined in the copy pages of the printed Guide. While the inkset used meets ISO requirements for SWOP, the workflow does not necessarily conform to all components of SWOP.
Here is the information from the printed Guide:
Color Run Sequence and Screen angles:
K @ 45 degrees
C @15 degrees
M @ 75 degrees
Y @ 0 degrees
Wet Ink Target Densities:
Black 1.75
Cyan 1.30
Magenta 1.42
Yellow 1.00
Line Screen:
175 lines/inch
(69 lines/cm)
Paper stock:
#1 grade 60 lb. gloss coated cover stock
Dot Gain Target Measurements
25% 50% 75%
Black 19 25 18
Cyan 14 24 15
Mag 14 21 15
Yel 12 19 14
I hope you find this information helpful.
