The Pantone shade completely specifies the color: just select it from Frame's Pantone libraries using View -> Color -> Definitions, or whatever that is in FrameMaker 9+. Unless I'm missing something... As you say you've not worked with color libraries: the Pantone system was developed as a foolproof and unambiguous way to specify the colors of printing inks, much as some domestic paint mixing systems work. As long as you select the correct Pantone color (072 is a dark blue), it should be guaranteed correct in print. Be aware though that FrameMaker cannot always absolutely reproduce it on the screen. -- Steve _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
