Need formula for PMS2935
« on: November 29, 2013, 02:19:20 PM »
My pantone book is an older one. Does anyone have the recipe for Pantone 2935? Also, how close is it in appearance to 293?

Thanks!

It's a fair bit darker but the CMYK are pretty close actually.. just a touch more magenta.

2935:
100 52 0 0
293:
100 69 0 4

use 300 it's hard to tell the difference between them. If you are going to be close, stay on the darker side. If you go lighter, you'll be going away from the 2935.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

They are SUPER close.

But 300 is lighter than 2935 (closer than 293 for sure).

But at 99 50 0 0 they are virtually identical for what we do.
