The RIP needs to be told the that you are using a special colour in the separations so pre-press must put this information on the disc first.
So basically the job will be c,m,y,k + x.

hi mrs heidelberg

thank u very much mrs heidelberg.today i print all the 4 colours papers and now i am trying to print the pantone colour.this pantone from coca cola i find and this is 185 C .can u give me the percent from this pantone because i ihave number of this pantone but not percenatge because i have no pantone book. i will be greatful

Hi,

Breakdown for pms 185 is 75% (12 parts) pantone warm red and 25% (4 parts) pantone rubine red. So basically for a 1kg mix....mix 750g of warm red and 250g of rubine red.

However the coca cola red is very close to pms 186 (just checked with pms book and a can of coke) and that mix is 73.9% (12 parts) pantone warm red, 24.6% (4parts) pantone rubine red & 1.5% (1 part) pantone black.

Notice the mix colours are from the PANTONE range and not normal process colours.
