Illustrator Scripting :: Convert Inks To Pantone Color Bridge CMYK

Nov 11, 2011

I work with a large number of Illustrator files daily that all use the Pantone Solid Coated library for their swatch color scheme. This color library will be used whether customers provide the art pieces or if I design the pieces for them.
 
However, I have found that in order to best match our digital press we must to convert the inks to the Pantone Color Bridge CMYK PC library before printing. 
 
Basically the same color number just the different library (eg  PMS 200C would convert to PMS 200PC if outputing in-house to the digital press).
 
My question - is it possible to create a script that would swap out all the colors in a document (that are in a specific library) with the same colors from a different library?
 
*More specifically what I am wanting to do is if I have a document that has a dozen solid coated colors swap them for their same numerical equivelant in the Color Bridge CMYK PC library.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Convert CMYK To Pantone

Jun 29, 2013

I have a client that gave me some artwork created in CMYK with plenty of half tones.  Unfortunately, it breaks down into 1558 colors.  We need to convert it to Pantone for screen printing.  The whole thing can be reduced to 6 colors without changing the look.  Is there a process that will automatically convert the CMYK colors to close matching Pantone colors without going through each individual color and halftone, which would take forever..

I have been trying to convert both Pantone Colors to CMYK and CMYK to Pantones on a few of my projects.  I walk throught the steps but nothing happens.  My counterpart which has CS5.5 also is able to do it both ways just fine.  Is there a pre-set someplace that I need to be aware of?

Illustrator :: Can't Convert From CMYK To RGB In CS6

Mar 15, 2014

I'm moving art over to a new document. It was created in CMYK. The new document has a color mode of Basic RGB. After pasting the art I select it all, and choose Edit | Edit Colors | Convert to RGB. After saving and re-opening the document, the art once again has CMYK attributes, not RGB. What am I doing wrong?

Illustrator :: How To Convert Colors From RGB To CMYK

Jan 21, 2014

I always find beautiful RGB-vectors which I want to use for a print design. But once converted via Illustrator to CMYK, the image often annoys me because of the less bright and powerful colours.
 
So: what is the best way to recolor a nice and colourful vector from RGB tot CMYK (possibly with finding the right alternative colors in CMYK?) in Illustrator?

Illustrator :: Can't Convert Artwork From CMYK To RGB

Oct 17, 2013

I need to convert a bunch of vector artwork for a brand I made from CMYK to RGB.
 
But, illustrator won't give me the option to do so.
 
I upgraded from CS6 to CC, but am still having the same issue. It's all vector right now.
 
Manually changing each colour will take hours, as there's many files and gradients. So, I'd love to just be able to use Illustrator's build in feature.
 
But, here's what I get. Convert to RGB is in light grey and I can't select it (click on image to see better):

Illustrator :: Convert CMYK To RGB For MS Word?

Feb 23, 2013

I've designed a logo for a client using Illustrator CS6. There is the 4-color version in CMYK .eps as well as 1-color, 2-color, and KO versions. Everything looks and acts as it should and will no doubt be perfect for offset printing (my main area of experience). However, once delivered to the client they were anxious to put them into use and immediately dropped the 4-color version into a word document and made a pdf for email distribution. When I received it I had to groan, the colors had shifted to the obscene.
 
My guess is that what the client needs is a set of the logos that are converted to RGB. I'm also thinking that since the logos might be re-sized for various uses, keeping the art in the .eps format (as opposed to a raster format) makes sense. Is that true?
 
Is there an easy way to convert the original CMYK eps files to RGB within Illustrator?

Illustrator :: How To Convert RGB Images To CMYK

Aug 2, 2013

Have an illustrator cs6 file I just sent to a client for printing. It has linked rgb and CMYK files.  When I sent the file I forgot to convert the rgb images to CMYK. They were linked psd and tiff files. Don't have direct contact with who will print. Do I need to worry about the RGB images outputting poorly? Or will Illustrator handle the conversion ok just in case printer doesn't check the files carefully.

Illustrator :: CS6 - Convert Swatch To CMYK

Nov 13, 2013

I am working in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6.
 
When I create a swatch using Pantone colour books (solid coated) and then convert the swatch to CMYK the values differ between programs and also differ to my hard copy of Pantone Colour Bridge.
 
I have followed the Workaround 1 on [URL]...which was useful - now the CMYK values produced in Illustrator and InDesign match HOWEVER they still differ from my hard copy of Pantone Colour Bridge.
 
I copied the leagacy files from CS4 - is it possible the CMYK values embedded in these files are out of date or is it possible that the CMYK values in the Colour Bridge book have since changed?

Illustrator Scripting :: Convert RGB Value To CMYK Values

Mar 26, 2013

I want a script that can convert RGB value to CMYK values.
 
I've seen this thread which explains a script to round up and down:
 
[URL].....
 
but is there a script that i can actually define lets say the colour is yellow and in RGB it looks ok because its in RGB mode so you change it to CMYK and you have 6% - 9% cyan and you only want yellow
 
is there a script out there that i can say
 
if
 
cyan = 6%
yellow = 80%
magenta = 0%
black = 0%
 
then change to
 
cyan = 0%
yellow = 80&
mangenta = 0%
black = 0%
 
I don't mind writting the code for each colour that needs to be converted as it would only need defining once but how would i make this script?

Photoshop :: CMYK Pantone

Apr 9, 2009

My online printing outsource made a postcard containing my image and it came out about 1-1/2 stops too dark. When I questioned this I was advised as follows: "For best prediction of color output on a 4 color offset press, please compare your CMYK percentages with an industry-standard Pantone Process guide.">>This seems strange since a color image will have numerous different percentages of cmyk. I must be missing something. My friend who has the Pantone guide wants me to specify a Pantone number for use in comparing the image. I don't see how this can work for the same reasons (different colors, different percentages).>>The easiest solution I can think of is simply to brighten the image the next time I order postcards from this printer.>>

Illustrator :: Automatically Convert From RGB To CMYK Color Mode?

Jul 25, 2012

I have over 900 barcodes provided in EPS format. When I open them in illustrator, they are coming in as an RGB color space file. I need them gray scale solid black in CMYK color mode. I can batch using actions to convert the artwork using "Edit Colors > Convert to Grayscale". However, the document color mode remains RGB. It appears, even after using "Convert to Grayscale", that the RGB color mode goofs up the placed .ai file in InDesign, treating it as RGB and seeing it as a mix of CMYK rather than the 100% black only it needs to be for proper sharp printing.
 
The actions pallet doesn't record converting the document color mode. Is there a way to automate that file conversion so they are all saved as CMYK rather than RGB, or am I stuck opening each of the 900+ files manually?

Illustrator :: Why CS6 Convert CMYK To RGB When Do Add To Switches In Color Menu

Apr 20, 2013

1. Open Color menu and work with color in CMYK.

2. Do "Add to switches" (or "Создать новый образец" in Russian)

3. See that new color was added like RGB not like CMYK.

4. When I open parameters it show me HSB options.

5. I switch it to CMYK and push OK

6. Nothing cange - RGB in name and HSB in options.

I'm having an issue where I can't convert spot colors to CMYK in the swatches panel. Currently to fix I have to copy elements using the spot colors in to a new blank document, then convert them, then paste back into the original document.
 
Also if I try to delete the spot color, it doesn't fully delete the swatch.

Illustrator :: How To Convert CMYK Artwork For Spot Colour Apparel Print

Sep 11, 2013

I'm pretty new to preparing artwork for spot colour printing - it's a hoodie design in this case.
 
I created the artwork in CMYK originally, and have got some of the way towards converting into a 5 colour print job using Recolor Artwork, so I've got it down to 5 swatches.
 
However, the printer is asking for colours separated by layers, which makes sense - I think means knocking everything out so there is no overprinting - is this correct?
 
If so, what is the best approach to take, to avoid unnecessary work, to convert from the current artowrk, with a lot of overlapping artwork, to produce 5 layers each with vector artwork coloured with its own Pantone swatch?

Photoshop :: Mixing Pantone Colors - Just Like CMYK Channels?

Oct 31, 2013

What I'd like to do [in photoshop] is treat 4 pantone colors just like CMYK channels. What I mean by that is that I would like to replace Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black with my own colors [pantone colors] and have them mix and act exactly like those channels. As in, when I open a full color image, and my pantone [or any color] channels or color profile is active, the full color image will react to those colors [with the blending of the colors].
 
Instead of 45% Cyan, 55% Magenta, 83% Yellow, and 2% Black in a given spot, it would be a mix of the 4 chosen colors [example: 45% pantone A, 55% Pantone B, 83% Pantone C, 2% Pantone D].
 
or to put it another way, if I were to color the background in, say, a blue, I would be able to use the "Info" panel to see how much of each pantone color was mixed to create that color. Obviously there would be a limit to the colors I could create based on the pantone colors I select.
 
I don't want to do anything printing wise with this technique. I am looking at it solely as an on screen viewer or perhaps use it in some manner for screen printing.

InDesign :: Placed EPS File With Pantone Colour Change Mode To CMYK?

Mar 17, 2014

I am working on a 2-color newsletter in Indesign CS5... black and Pantone 227U.
 
Whenever I place a duotone .eps (black + 227U) or an Illustrator vector .eps with 227U in it, the color mode for that swatch changes to CMYK. An Illustrator vector which is 100% 227U also gives me the same issue.
