Can you mix Pantone coated and uncoated?
Pantone colors are mainly used in offset printing, which uses ink instead of toner. You can print on both a coated and uncoated sheet in digital printing as well, but not all digital printers can handle pantone colors. Typically, coated paper is used to convey more vibrant color production.
What are uncoated Pantones used for?
The uncoated sheet allows more ink to be absorbed into the paper. Sometimes the minerals used as pigment to color the inks effect how it will absorbed and also effects the color. Notice PANTONE 290 C and PANTONE 290 U are closer in color.
What is the difference between coated and uncoated plates?
Coated papers have a coating on them (typically clay), so they’re “sealed.” This restricts the amount of ink that is absorbed into the paper, allowing the ink to sit on top of the paper, in a crisp defined dot. Uncoated papers do not have this coating and thus are more porous.
What is the difference between Pantone and CMYK?
The main difference between CMYK and Pantone printing is the level of accuracy. The Pantone process is more consistent and able to produce colors closer in shade to the ones seen in the digital design stage. However, it is also more costly than CMYK in most cases, especially if the print job is small.
