Pantone to CMYK conversion

[jayne193]

Hi guys & girls,

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've got 3 Pantone values that I need to convert to CMYK and I don't have a conversion chart yet.

Is there any chance someone could help me out with these?

The colours are:
Pink - 226U
Grey - 446U

Brown - 4635U

I would really really appreciate the help!!

yep they work here too and that second one i think is exactly what you need

No, the RGB and CMYK conversions work, but you have to click through to get the pantone conversion and that's been removed and replaced with a copy of the warning letter that pantone sent the site owner.

very interesting

That's what I thought, but hey, if they can squeeze hundreds of pounds out of you by forcing you to buy their books then you can see why they're not too keen to have the information out there for free!

Thanks for your help guys, the other link is useful, although it's just giving you the same conversions that InDesign will give you if you switch from spot to process - which isn't always accurate.

I appreciate your help though!

i don't understand what you mean, i can't see anywhere to click through and you can get the codes on the first page:

Pink - 226U: C=0 M=100 Y=0 K=0
Grey - 446U: C=21 M=0 Y=23 K=75
Brown - 4635U C=0 M=48 Y=96 K=44

i've checked these in PS and they're right
