PANTONE Color Profiles

PANTONE color profiles Most software programs that support the use of PANTONE colors for graphic objects will include the PANTONE name in the postscript output along with the color values that are assigned to the object. For best results, select an application that uses PANTONE palette in a CMYK workspace and print with the Postscript driver with the SWOP inkset emulation selected.

When SWOP is selected as the CMYK Color setting, these CMYK values provides a good reproduction of the PANTONE 4C spot-color simulations.

PANTONE provides device- and software-specific palettes for some HP Color LaserJet products. Using the custom colors in these palettes can provide an alternative match to the 4C spot-color simulation. However, files that use these palettes are not portable to other devices.

PANTONE Application Palettes are available at the following Web site:

Vector graphics, such as company logos that are created in PANTONE Application Palettes, can be imported into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other Microsoft Office software programs. For importation, the color program must create an encapsulated postscript (.EPS) file of the image. By using the Insert file function, you can then import the file into the Office document.

NOTE: Cutting and pasting from the clipboard does not work. These tasks do not preserve the PANTONE name or the CMYK palette value.
