CMYK to Pantone please

pnt 382 is 34.0.100.0 closest I can find

[John Harding]

Thanks Chris – howd you do that?

[Chris Windebank]

in corel draw a square and fill with cmyk, the change colour by selecting pantone, it will bring up the nearest. From there I then use a pantone colour bridge chart to find the colour and gain the rgb or cmyk values, hope that made sense, have to call yuo later today anyway

Of cource it all depends on where that CMYK comes from, here I’m using Omega’s ColorId and using the source color from our CMYK swop file.

Just another way to do it for Gerber users
