Illustrations in Pantone to CMYK
uzapuca (6 pencils) | Mon, 2010-09-13 09:34Hi guys,
The designer sent me a couple of illustrations with many details all in Pantone colors. It is kind of a pain to convert one by one to CMYK. Here is a sample

Do i have to convert each of the colors to CMYK in order to print it? Is not going to be Offsett or Spot colors, just a regular fast color printer like Kinkos in order to test it.
Thanks for any info.
Cheers,
Sebs

Thanks for the fast reply Nelson. The current format is Illustrator. What do you think is a better solution to convert using Illustrator a Edit>Colors>Converts all color to CMYK or do it on the output PDF as you said?
Either way would work fine.
Without my sense of direction, I don't know where I'd be.
if the job is colour critical you need a Pantone - CMYK conversion swatch, you will notice huge shifts in colour for Greens / Oranges / Purples. If not just run with it, it will be fine.

ICC Profiles! Even after all this time, I still have no idea what type of press those Pantone CMYK numbers represent.
