OK, I did some quick graphic comps in PS using Pantone Coated 7421C as a fill color. Everyone loved it. Now its time to produce vector graphics and page layouts and the same 7421 in IL and ID is completely different than the PS one.
I’m using CS Design Premium and all the apps color preferences state that I’m "Synchronized", and yes everything is set the same in all of those dialogs. I want the PS 7421, not the lighter, ‘redder’ 7421 that shows up in the IL and ID. This is supposed to be a simple spot PMS color for a logo. And no, I did not spec the original PS color as a spot channel (never used this feature) since I’m not doing separations or anything out of PS – I just know it better than IL or ID and up until now trusted the color as it displayed.
I’m at a loss to understand how I can have a calibrated monitor and three Adobe apps that cannot show the same color the same way at their default "matched" settings…
Enlighten me
