I do graphic design work for a manufacturing company. The corporate color is Pantone 280, a blue. I often use color photos that I want to change to single color…the Pantone 280. I suppose you would call this a quasi-duotone.
Whichever way I choose to do this…hue/saturation, gradient map (using Adjustment Layers) or actually creating a Duotone, I always get the same result. The photo adjusted to Pantone 280, prints out with too much magenta (purple). This result is the same whether a magazine prints the ad or if I send it to our Canon laser. The Canon prints a solid Pantone 280 box very nicely…not too much magenta.
Is their a better way of adjusting the photos or is this a result of this particular color?
Can’t live with the purple,
