Question
Can 4OVER4 match Pantone colors using CMYK printing?
Answer
4OVER4 prints in CMYK and can match Pantone colors as closely as possible by referencing the PMS swatch book on press. Because CMYK cannot reproduce every spot color exactly, a perfect match is not guaranteed, though close matching is achievable.
- Provide the PMS number you want so it can be referenced during printing.
- The press matches to the closest CMYK equivalent of that swatch.
- Some shift is normal, since CMYK has a narrower range than spot inks.
- Review a proof if the color is critical, so you can confirm the result before the full run.
