Sometimes PMS books can be faded or numbers can be misread and the wrong color gets printed. Therefore,it is recommend that you bring in a sample of the exact color you want so there is no misunderstanding.
One use is standardizing colors in the CMYK process. The CMYK process is a method of printing color by using four inks — cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. A majority of the world's printed material is produced using the CMYK process, and there is a special subset of Pantone colors that can be reproduced using CMYK .
On September 5, 2007 Pantone introduced the Goe System Goe consists of over 2,000 new colors in a brand new matching and numbering system. In addition to the standard swatch books (now called the GoeGuide), the new system also includes adhesive-backed GoeSticks, interactive software, tools, and an online community where users are able to share color swatches and information.
The Goe system is streamlined to use fewer base colors (10 + Clear coating for reflections) and accommodates many technical challenges in reproducing colors on a press.
Each page of the PMS book has small printed swatches of ink. They are presented in a logical sequence. For example, a section of the book might have all shades of red, starting with deep hues, and proceeding to light hues.
PMS books show how a color looks on coated and uncoated papers. It gives you a choice of hundreds of colors.
