Pantone 382 - Formula Needed Please

[D Ink Man]

Please help. Need a formula from P-Yellow and P-Process Blue. Formula smudged in my guide. Guess I have to order a new one.

Need it to match on both coated and uncoated match to "The Book".

Should be as easy as 123......

Thank you much in advance.

Try:

93.7% PANTONE Yellow
6.3% PANTONE Process Blue

Coated Lab aimpoints as a “guide”:
L*82.04 a*-21.53 b*85.01

Uncoated Lab aimpoints as a “guide”:
L*73.35 a*-29.73 b*67.29


The rest is up to you! :]

So you find these aimpoints acceptable just going from coated to uncoated stock. Hmm.....interesting.

I have no comment on what is acceptable or not, just posting what information I have.

There is always room to try to do better, however whether one can do better is unknown. For example, I have not compared how different Pantone Yellow is on C vs. U and if this is inline with the difference for 382 C vs. U.
