Who created the pantone color matching system?

In 1963, a little known printing company called Pantone Inc. revolutionized the game with the world’s first color matching system. This system was developed by part-time employee, Lawrence Herbert. At the time, Herbert was coming into printing to make extra money to pay his way through medical school. However, he had a knack for the industry and a passion to improve the current system.

What are Pantone colors used for?

Almost all forms of advertising rely on the Pantone Matching System (PMS) for their colors. For example, colleges and universities use Pantone colors to print an exact color match for logos, mascots, and school names.

How does Pantone Choose the Paper for the guides?

Pantone Shade Cards print our colors on the most commonly used, globally available paper stocks. Our coated guide is #1 grade 100lb gloss text stock (148 g/m2) and the uncoated guide is premium grade 80lb text stock (118 g/m2).

What is the difference between Coated (C) and Uncoated (U)?

Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors marked with a C mean that the color is printed on coated paper for a glossy finish, as you would see in a magazine. This is desirable for sharp and complex designs, as the ink stays on top of the paper, preventing bleeding. Likewise, a U indicates uncoated paper, which has a more porous finish, common on letterhead. Uncoated paper is generally more absorbent of ink than coated, reducing sharpness.

What’s the difference between spot printing and process printing?

Understanding the difference between spot and process is incredibly important in setting color expectations from design intention to production and when transitioning from a computer screen to the printing press. Solid color printing, also known as spot or offset, uses ink mixed to a precise formulation, resulting in more precise colors and allowing for bold, vibrant colors.
