PANTONE for the graphic design workflow

IN TODAY'S WORLD YOU CAN FIND INSPIRATION EVERYWHERE

Turning the ideas that come along with them into reality can sometimes be difficult. Colour plays an essential role in product development and determines the success of a product line. Starting with the right tools allows you to maintain the integrity of your creative vision and make your dreams a reality. If you work in print, packaging or graphic design and don't know which Pantone colour system to use, the Pantone Graphic System is for you.

At the heart of the Pantone Matching System (PMS) are spot colours printed on paper. Why? Spot colours represent the truest representation of colour intent in graphic art. Spot colour printing, also known as spot or offset printing, is the process of formulating a single colour and then applying it through the printing process. The Pantone Formula Guide is the only colour guide that contains these colour formulations.

1. INSPIRATION

Pantone colour fan - find a colour that appeals to you

The colours in the Pantone fans are arranged chromatically, which allows you to find exactly the colour you want at a glance.

Pantone Capsure - Save colours for later

Sometimes in everyday life you find the perfect colour unexpectedly. Pantone Capsure can help you accurately measure these inspiring colours and save them for later.

Turn your phone into a colour matching tool!

The new Pantone Color Match Card allows you to use your phone's camera to capture coloured objects, materials and surfaces and match them to the closest Pantone colours.

While we all know that spot colour printing produces the most accurate results, we also know that it is the most expensive. That's why Pantone has developed a process colour guide to help you achieve the closest possible approximation of PMS on a tight budget: the Color Bridge Guide . This guide provides a visual comparison of Pantone spot colours with their best CMYK process print counterparts. The Color Bridge is the only guide that contains CMYK, hex and RGB values for every single PMS colour.

All PMS colours are also available as Plastic Chips to ensure consistent reproduction of your chosen colour in all materials. The Plastic Chips are large enough to be digitally measured and also feature multiple surface textures and varying degrees of thickness.

2. DESIGN

Pantone Connect - The platform for coordinating, creating and designing Pantone colour palettes

Pantone Connect is a new and powerful application that gives designers access to Pantone colour libraries, colour values, and navigation tools wherever they work with colour.

Monitor calibration - because your eyes can deceive you

Calibration tools allow you to reliably view the colours on your monitor, projector, and prints. We recommend using Calibrite calibration devices.

Colour Palette Development Tools - Colour is fun, play with it!

Perforated colour chips allow you to work directly with your colour palettes, giving you more confidence in your selection. We recommend that you always supply Pantone Solid Chips or Sticker Chips in the desired colour along with the artwork and design files to ensure the exact colour for the print output.

3. PRODUCT & REVIEW

Evaluating lighting - how can you be sure you are seeing your colour in the right light?

Light indicator stickers and light booths ensure that you always judge colours under correct conditions.

When performing colour comparison within your product and print development projects, make sure you evaluate under the appropriate light source for the intended final production.
