Hi everyone,
I would like to buy some of PANTONE's color books, but I really don't know where to start from. I'm looking for a color guide for digital and litho press on different substrates.
I have visited the pantone website and I have found the FORMULA GUIDE COATED, UNCOATED, MATTE books and PANTONE ESSENTIALS containg the three books mentioned before plus COLOR BRIDGE COATED and 4-COLOR PROCESS COATED, UNCOATED.
As every of those products are indicated for design and print uses I wonder which one is really necessary for digital and litho printing.
What the 4 COLOR PROCESS is for? What is the difference between this and FORMULA GUIDE COATED, UNCOATED AND MATTE?
Is it really necessary to have COLOR BRIDGE? Personally I don't need Html color code but I don't know what to think about the conversion from solid to CMYK.
I will really appreciate if someone could give me some advice becouse I am totally confused. I wouldn't buy the wrong book and then cry for the money.
Thank you.
