Pantone Inc, the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today announced that the PANTONE color bridge guide is now available on popular uncoated stock. The new guide shows how PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM Colors reproduce in CMYK on uncoated paper in a side-by-side comparison.
Like the PANTONE color bridge guide coated, the uncoated guide reflects the same high quality color matches for increased accuracy and visual reference when specifying and matching colors.
The appeal of uncoated paper has undergone a dramatic image change in the eyes of designers and printers, leading creative professionals to specify uncoated stock more regularly, particularly for color work. Uncoated paper has higher ink saturation than coated paper, which will alter a color's appearance. A normally vibrant palette on coated paper will become more muted on uncoated paper, yielding a result desired by designers today.
"Uncoated paper is increasingly specified for projects where color is a factor. Manufacturers have improved the shade, brightness, smoothness and overall quality of uncoated paper for color work, and this is contributing to the growing demand for uncoated stock," said Joseph Ranson, vice president of marketing, Printing Papers at xpedx, an International Paper company.
Although many PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM Colors can be successfully reproduced in four-color, some cannot because of the inherent limitations of process printing. The color bridge guide displays 1,089 PANTONE Colors in fan guide format on coated and now uncoated stock, alongside their closest four-color process match. The CMYK values are provided for each process color and RGB and HTML values are included for the solid colors.
