    Dear Folks,

    We have a new print job that needs 6 colors printing but we are constricted to a Heidelberg SM-74 5 color machine and we do not want to do a second pass as we will have problems with powder building up for a large run.

    How can I mix these below colors to get the 6th color of Pantone 3165. (This color has a blueish shade to it)

    The other 5 colors are :-
    Pantone 200c
    Pantone 5767c
    Pantone 475c
    Process Black
    Dark Yellow that we made by mixing at the station.

    Hi
    It is very tough to achieve the pentone color using 3 penton+1 process black ⚫+one yellow (mixture of two colors)
    It better you convert pdf into process color.
    Or
    Print using 4 proceed+1pentone(which is required most) .
    You can use colortool box of prinect heiedelberg.
    You can send file to us we can also convert
