पँटोन तेCMYK

पँटोन आणि सीएमवायके वेगवेगळ्या रंगसंगतींमध्ये (पुनरुत्पादित करण्यायोग्य रंगांच्या श्रेणी) अस्तित्वात आहेत. पँटोनमध्ये अनेक दोलायमान, विशेष रंग आहेत जे अद्वितीय रंगद्रव्यांसह तयार केले जातात जे फक्त चार प्रक्रिया शाई (सायन, मॅजेन्टा, पिवळा आणि काळा) एकत्र करून अचूकपणे प्रतिकृती बनवता येत नाहीत. या "विशेष" पँटोन रंगांना मानक सीएमवायके प्रक्रिया प्रिंटिंगऐवजी स्पॉट इंक प्रिंटिंगची आवश्यकता असते.

Use Pantone colors when color accuracy and consistency are critical across different materials and production runs, such as logos and brand colors. Use CMYK when: printing full-color photographs, working with budgets that restrict additional spot colors, or when printing materials with many different colors that would be cost-prohibitive with spot inks.

This tool provides industry-standard conversions based on Pantone's official specifications. However, actual printed results can vary based on: paper type (coated vs. uncoated), ink quality, printer calibration, and environmental factors. For critical applications, always request a printed proof using your specific production parameters and compare it to a physical Pantone swatch.

Pantone suffixes indicate the material standard: TPX (Textile Paper eXtended) for paper swatches representing textile colors, TCX (Textile Cotton eXtended) for actual cotton swatches, C for coated paper, U for uncoated paper, and M for matte finishes. The same color number with different suffixes may have slightly different CMYK conversions due to material absorption properties.

Several factors contribute to variations: different base materials (paper types), updated Pantone standards, printer-specific calibrations, and regional printing conventions. Additionally, some colors have multiple acceptable CMYK approximations depending on desired results (more vibrant vs. more accurate). This tool uses the latest Pantone specifications for the most consistent results.
