anyone have a pantone colour match please?

[David White]

sorry cant find anything close to those

[Lorraine Clinch]

OK, thanks for looking David, looks like it will have to be printed after all. I;ll give the customer the good news!

[Marcella Ross]

Lorraine,

I’ve had a look too ………. biggest problem is that they’re shades of lilac/purple. Not a colour where there’s an abundance of choice in vinyls.
I think to match these you’ve no option to print. Unless your client is happy to go with any 4 shades of purple in which case Mactac have a decent range.

[Lorraine Clinch]

Hi Marcella (welcome back by the way)
Not the easiest colours, I know.
I now have another problem, cos I have to create a sign using these 4 pantones for printing, but I dont know how I can create them in Signlab.

Is it possible?

[Nick Minall]

You should have a Pantone palette Lorraine,

Should I? Where???? 😳

Do you have SL print and cut 7.1?

[Lorraine Clinch]

No, V. 7.0

[Nick Minall]

In 7.1 Pantone is in the box that comes up when you click on button to open a palette.

Its a bit confusing, if you hover the mouse it then gives you the Pantone colour 😕

[Derek Heron]

Lorraine, in addition to the SignLab 7.1 Print and Cut, you will need the Pantone Matching module in order to use the Pantone palettes. The Pantone palettes are set up for use like other palette colours. You can either open them like Manufacturer Palettes, merge the ones you want into your current palette, or set a Pantone palette for use with a new design.

Cheers,

Rod
